OverviewBOSâNOVA TCP/IP provides Windows 9x/Me/NT/2000/XP and Citrix users on a TCP/IP or Twinax network with robust TN5250e emulation, native AS/400 file transfer services, convenient network printing (LPD), and SCS printing emulation. BOSâNOVA TCP/IP attaches directly to the network with no need for a router and is especially easy to install, configure, and use. BOSâNOVA TCP/IP is designed to work transparently with remote LAN access products such as those available from Lynk, Shiva, IBM, and Cisco. |
BOSâNOVA TCP/IP’s External Link feature allows display of related files and folders, as illustrated in this security as application for employee identification |
Advantages
 | Offers rich TN5250e display environment, including toolbars, macros, keyboard mapping and MorphExpressTM On-the-Fly GUI. |
| Supports display and printer session names (workstation IDs). |
| Offers TCP/IP printing capability designed especially to print AS/400 data on local or networked printers, without a router. |
| Includes automated printing configurator that requires no particular knowledge of AS/400 commands. |
| Supports external link capability for display of files and folders based on related text on the emulation screen. |
| Enables TCP/IP connectivity over existing Twinax infrastructure. |
| Includes SQL-based data file transfer utility designed specifically for use with the AS/400. |

Easy
to install, use and maintain,
with small footprint (~12MB) and modest memory requirements |
TN5250e Display and Printing Emulation
BOSâNOVA TCP/IP offers a rich TN5250e emulation environment that provides enhanced emulation functions for a wide range of IBM terminals, including 3477FC, and includes additional features such as flat-style toolbars, keyboard mapping and macro functions.

Printing Options
SCS
Printing
SCS printing support enables printing directly from the AS/400. Native SCS printer sessions are supported for specific OS/400 versions with appropriate PTFs installed (see http://www.bosweb.com/bntcp_ptf.html for more information).

Data and File Management
The
BOSâNOVA TCP/IP provides advanced data and file management features and
tools for AS/400 connectivity:
Data Transfer Function (DTF)
DTF is a 32-bit Windows utility for transferring data in either direction between a PC and an AS/400. The DTF Wizard is used to build a list of profiles that can be automatically transferred. The DTF Scheduler enables transferring data according to a predetermined time and/ or based on a predefined screen trigger that initiates the transfer. The DTF Interface is used to create and view the profiles and profile lists, change parameters and profile lists, and run data transfers interactively.
Native AS/400 File Transfer
The native AS/400 FTP client is designed specifically for use with the AS/400 and supports all the AS/400 naming conventions and file systems. Using the FTP client, users can transfer and receive data to and from the folders area, and from the AS/400 libraries.

Host Explorer
The Host explorer, modeled on the Windows Explorer, enables users to view the AS/400 as if it were another PC on the network. It provides access to all connected AS/400s, displaying libraries and/0or files as if they were folders on another (PC) network drive. Host Explorer functions include:
| drag-and-drop copying of folders or files |
| sending print jobs directly from a PC to AS/400 printer queues |
| a full, customizable toolbar (with or without text labels) |
| adding printer |
BOSâNOVA IFS
BOSâNOVA
IFS (Integrated File System) is a Windows 95/98/Me utility that enables
you to work with AS/400 folders as if they were PC folders. With BOSâNOVA
IFS you can:
| use an AS/400 as a file server for your PC |
| assign a root folder on an AS/400 to an available drive on your PC |
| use IFS in Windows Me, Windows 98, Windows 95 and DOS applications |
| copy folders and files to and from your PC and an AS/400 |
| change file attributes and create, browse, rename, move, and delete PC and AS/400 folders and files |
Administrative Tools
User Policy
Editor
The User Policy
Editor provides the system administrator with an efficient way to assign
user (and group) privileges and limitations. Management of policies is
flexible, allowing system administrators to update user and group profiles
from any workstation on the network.
