Customizable Terminal Emulation

The Tun Emul module provides terminal emulation for more than 30 host types, including IBM ® 3270 and 5250 - as well as full 3287 and 3812 printer support - HP ®, DEC ® VT, SCO ® Unix, and others.

For PC-to-Host or multi-user Windows

Available for either PC-based or Microsoft ® Windows ® Server with Remote Desktop Services implementation, Tun Emul provides critical host access to all types of users - from green -screen power users to novices requiring limited functionality.

Administrators use the powerful customization tools included with Tun Emul to add background colors, graphical toolbars and function-key panels, mouse support, and hot spots. Familiar Windows utilities like copy/paste also help create seamless Windows-style host integration.

Customization is easy for administrators. The Tun Emul tools include features like drag-and-drop keyboard mapping and over 340 programmable actions.

In PC environments, Tun Emul runs under Windows 10, 8 and 7. In multi-user Windows environments, Tun Emul is available on virtually any client device.

Workspace

Esker's most popular terminal environments (3270/3287, 5250/3812, VT, HP, and others) are available ActiveX ® components. This technology allows users to access and integrate data from multiple, diverse hosts simultaneously within a single environment ― the Workspace ― enhancing efficiency and productivity.

Central Deployment for All Technology

Tun modules also feature central installation and system maintenance in PC-based implementations. Administrators install modules on the server and the Esker Deployer on client machines. At startup, the Deployer detects Tun components, reconfigurations, or upgrades on the server and retrieves them to the client.

Esker thin-client technology extends connectivity to non-Windows resources and applications via Microsoft Windows Server with Remote Desktop Services. With Tun Emul for multi-user Windows, organizations benefit from centralized installation and administration, multi-user load balancing, lower software and maintenance costs, and unrivaled host access from virtually any client.
