XCICS Terminal Emulators

XCICS/TS is deployed with its own terminal emulator:

•	X4J - the terminal emulator for the Java Virtual Machine

•	xsclient - the terminal emulator for Unix/Linux tty sessions (telnet/ssh)

Both these emulators may be used to connect an active XCICS/TS region over its proprietary protocol. X4J is designed for the every-day work of the terminal operator. xsclient is delivered to all offer terminal emulation capabilities to those users that only have access to the Unix/Linux shell.

If you want to connect an XCICS/TS region with a standard tn3270 emulator (i.e. IBM Personal Communicator), please refer to the XTND Protocol Adapter guide.
