Overview

The BOSâNOVA TBT-400 Ethernet terminal offers the very best TN5250e and TN3270e emulation available for a LAN environment. In contrast to standard text-based terminals, the BOSâNOVA TBT-400 includes Windows 2000 Terminal Server (RDP) and Citrix Metaframe (ICA) clients in its basic configuration. Full support for 122 key keyboards is also built in to allow maximum productivity for users migrating from other 5250 or 3270 terminals. Performance tests measuring response time for its embedded TN5250e and TN3270e emulations indicate that the BOSâNOVA TBT-400 outperforms similar products based on Windows CE by a ratio of five to one!

BOSâNOVA TBT-400 

Advantages

  • 400Mhz VIA processor for top performance

Versatile Hardware Platform with High-speed Processing

The BOSâNOVA TBT-400 has 64MB of RAM and 16 MB of Disk on Memory (DOM). It is equipped with support for SVGA display (1024x768 16-bit color), one parallel printer port, two serial ports, two USB ports, keyboard port, mouse port, 10/100 base-T Ethernet interface, and an audio out line. A full-featured 122-key keyboard is optional.

Centralized Management

As with any Windows Server product, the system administrator manages the accounts the Thin Client Terminals use. A major benefit is that since all applications are run from the server, there is no local installation or maintenance of software applications at the client workstation. Furthermore, since all user data and files are resident on the server, central backup is possible, thereby freeing the user of this task.

 Enterprise Class Remote Administration

 

The BOSâNOVA TBT-400 is simple to configure either locally or remotely using the Remote Terminal Administrator (RTA), which enables the following tasks:

  • Complete terminal configuration from a central location, including terminal emulation settings

  • User lock-out from configuration changes

  • Shadowing of the user's desktop

  • Cloning of user environments

  • Control over which applications can be run on a particular terminal

Windows & Citrix Connectivity

All of the BOSâNOVA terminals provide connections to Windows Terminal Servers and Citrix servers using the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) or Independent Computing Architecture (ICA) client software. RDP connects to Windows NT 4.0 Terminal Server Edition (TSE) or Windows 2000 Server, while ICA connects to TSE or Windows 2000 servers with Citrix Metaframe extensions, including Metaframe XP.

 Terminal Emulation

The BOSâNOVA LTC Series includes embedded TN5250e and TN3270e based terminal emulation software for up to five sessions in connection to IBM iSeries (AS/400) and zSeries (S/390) systems, employing the best fonts in the industry. 

It also supports a full-featured 122-key keyboard*, enabling efficient work with host applications without the need for operator retraining. (Click here or on image at right for an enlarged view of the LTC desktop)

Benefits of the Linux Platform

While the desktop has a Windows 2000/XP look and feel, both the BOSâNOVA LTC-300 and BOSâNOVA LTC-600 models are based on Linux. This versatile and user-friendly operating system provides additional capabilities not available with Windows-based terminals running Windows CE, such as:

  • Scaleable Windows

  • Java Virtual Machine

  • Embedded Netscape browser with JVM that can be used as a Domino/Notes client

  • X Windows connectivity to other Linux and Unix servers

  • Seamless access to applications running on Unix based servers

In addition, the XPDF reader Plug In provides Adobe Acrobat Reader functionality, and 32 MB DOM allows localized customization of the client desktop and applications.
