Chapter 1. About the UCT-L
About the Product
Host processors require real time consoles to properly manage their resources, monitor
their workloads, and resolve resource and applications issues in a timely manner. The
current console solutions for Legacy host processors are generally either fixed function
displays (green screens) or PCs running emulation. Fixed function console devices are
very limited in scope and capabilities, expensive to create and support, and subject to
constant update cycles.
The UCT-L is designed to be a console terminal for practically any host processor. The
UCT-L has multiple physical interfaces and a resident emulator suite that allows multiple
sessions to run simultaneously. The UCT-L can be optioned to support Type A 3270
COAX or AS400 TWINAX legacy host interfaces. Its standard interfaces include 10/
100 Ethernet, serial interface and USB.
The UCT-L runs Linux OS with a GUI based windowing user interface which allows
the user to have multiple emulators with multiple sessions active simultaneously.
For example, the UCT-L could have up to 10 sessions of TN3270 and up to 10
sessions of TN5250 active at the same time, all windowed on the screen.
The TN3270 emulation supports a unique user configurable screen presentation mode
that allows four concurrent MOD 2 sessions to be displayed in IBM 3290 emulation.
The presentation in this mode has four full Mod 2 screen images displayed and actively
being updated by the host.
Local and LPD/LPR printing are supported, allowing screen console image and batch
file printing.
