Frequently Asked Questions

What is TN3270?

Early terminals and host systems utilized a range of proprietary technologies that governed everything from display, input, keyboard layout, communications protocols and more - in almost all cases these were incompatible with competitor's offerings. Historically, IBM 3270 and 5250 series terminals utilized IBM's proprietary Systems Network Architecture(SNA) protocol to define how they communicated with their respective host systems. SNA was a predecessor of the now ubiquitous TCP/IP suite of networking protocols that powers modern networks, including the internet.

The development of TN3270 was a crucial step in allowing a 3270 terminal emulator to communicate over a TCP/IP network instead of an SNA network. TN stands for telnet, an application protocol which permits communications via TCP.

What is required to use TN3270?

Establishing a host session utilizing TN3270 requires a terminal emulator that supports the protocol and an appropriate host system, typically an IBM mainframe or midrange system. TN3270 sessions support terminal and print data (such as the 3287 printer). Turbosoft has a variety of solutions for various platforms and organizations, both large and small, helping you access mission-critical data wherever you are.
