Introduction

Welcome to Attachmate Reflection 2008, a full-featured desktop application that allows you to run host applications, transfer files, and integrate host data into the latest Windows and Office software applications. You can start multiple terminal sessions and even Web pages in a single workspace the same way you'd open multiple documents in most applications.

With Reflection providing terminal emulation, you can use your PC to connect to:

  • An IBM mainframe as a 3270 terminal or 3287 printer, using Telnet or Telnet Extended.
  • An AS/400 or iSeries midrange computer as a 5250 terminal or 3812 printer, using Telnet.
  • A UNIX or Open VMS host, using a variety of connection methods.

    Note: Depending on the version of Reflection you have installed, the details of your license agreement, and the security settings applied by your system administrator, some connection types and features described in this Guide may not be available to you.
