The OmniTerm family of thin clients combines all of the benefits of a dedicated “SNA” terminal with industry-standard network connectivity
and capability. Now MIS managers and Network Supervisors can give their users access to traditional IBM hosts (AS/400, S/390, S/9000), UNIX hosts, Microsoft hosts, email and more – all from a single thin client
Ethernet workstation. And because OmniTerm is a true thin client that employs solid-state technology, this connectivity is achieved without the complexity and expense associated with traditional PC-based solutions.
Decision Data has drawn on its extensive IBM Midrange (AS/400) and Mainframe (S/390, S/9000) knowledge and
incorporated it into the OmniTerm family of thin clients.
The OmniTerm/750t is a text-only thin client that includes support for TN5250E, TN3270E, VT100/220/320, email and
host printing. This unit is not upgradeable to any of the other OmniTerm models.

information on the OmniTerm/750t)
The OmniTerm/800ex is a text-based thin client that includes all of the
OmniTerm/700t functionality as described above, but
is field-upgradeable to the OmniTerm/850gx Graphical unit.
The OmniTerm/850gx is a true Graphical thin client that supports Netscape Communicator,
ICA, RDP, Java and Java
Virtual Machine, as well as all of the OmniTerm/700t functionality described above. The
OmniTerm/850gx is the smart choice when it comes to thin clients. It delivers access
to AS/400, Mainframe, UNIX, ICA, RDP, Internet and intranet applications at an affordable price. Whenever investment protection and cost of ownership are key decision criteria, the
OmniTerm/850gx is clearly the thin client of choice.
The OmniTerm/700t is an ideal Ethernet-based thin client replacement for legacy SNA terminals that are still connected via legacy Twinax or Coax wiring
infrastructures. The OmniTerm/700t delivers all of the same look-and-feel features that a traditional terminal user expects, but in a thin client platform connecting across an Ethernet topology. These traditional features include:
A 122 key keyboard (the same keyboard as used on
Decision Data legacy terminals)
Multiple concurrent SNA host sessions (up to 5)(8 on /gx).
Printing - local or host-addressable via the parallel port.
Keystroke macros & extensive user customization capabilities.
Access to multiple AS/400 and/or Mainframe hosts.
And the Omniterm/700t (unlike terminals) also
supports email, without adding the expensive overhead of a PC. Your existing
POP3 email servers (Lotus Notes, CCMail, Microsoft Exchange, and many more) that are providing email service to existing PC users can be used to deliver email of the
OmniTerm family of thin clients. The OmniTerm/700t thin client offers the best of both worlds – the simplicity, efficiency and economics of a SNA terminal combined with the flexibility and
power of an Ethernet LAN-attached PC. And all of this is achieved without the bloated cost-of-ownership associated with today’s PCs.
This thin client from Decision Data is expandable/upgradeable from Text to Graphics functionality. It includes all of the
OmniTerm/700t text capabilities and yet it is electronically upgradeable to the /850gx graphics functionality. Ideal for those users where a text-based thin client satisfies their needs
today, but who want the reassurance that the unit can be upgraded as required to the full Graphics capability. This upgrade requires NO hardware changes. The Text to Graphics
transition is achieved electronically, seamlessly delivering the richness of the
OmniTerm/850gx thin client from Decision Data
The ultimate in network-centric thin clients, the
OmniTerm/850gx from Decision Data has inherited all of the
great qualities associated with terminals and PCs, but without any of their bad habits! This model combines the Text functionality of the /700t with a GUI. The
OmniTerm/850gx
Graphical User Interface (GUI) provides the user with access to all of the major “data repositories” available today, including; AS/400’s, Mainframes, Citrix Servers, Microsoft Terminal
Servers, Email, Internet access, Intranet access, UNIX, DEC, etc. Web browsing is via the industry-standard Netscape Communicator.
