1.1. What is PowerTerm LTC?
PowerTerm LTC is a fully functional emulator for Linux Thin Clients operating
systems. It emulates various terminal types, including IBM, UNIX, HP, VMS and
Tandem. PowerTerm LTC enables you to connect to a single or to multiple hosts via
both network and remote connections.
PowerTerm LTC has two main features to enable the LTC to act and feel like a real
host terminal:
•
Terminal display emulation, PowerTerm LTC emulates the exact display of
the chosen terminal. It presents host applications precisely as they would
appear on the terminal. Once the LTC connects to a host computer, all host
operations can be performed as if the LTC is an actual host terminal.
•
Terminal keyboard emulation, PowerTerm LTC enables you to emulate the
selected terminal's keyboard by mapping the LTC keys to match the host
keys. Keyboard mapping definitions are stored in a .ptk file.
PowerTerm LTC also provides various options to customize and optimize the
working environment such as:
•
Soft buttons, programmable buttons located at the bottom of the PowerTerm
LTC window.
•
PowerTerm Script Language (PSL), a full-featured programming language,
which enables you to create scripts for automating tasks. For example, you
can create a PSL script for automatic login. Scripts can be used at startup of
PowerTerm LTC, or can be utilized any time during a PowerTerm LTC
session. PSL commands can also be assigned to the Soft buttons to enable
additional functions with a click of the mouse.
