Welcome to BlueZone Display & Printer Help. This guide is intended to provide help in installing, configuring and using the BlueZone family of emulation products. For more in depth information, please consult the BlueZone Administrator's Guide and the BlueZone Web-to-Host QuickStart Guide which can be found on the BlueZone CD-ROM.
BlueZone is a comprehensive; fully featured Windows based secure LAN/WAN to 3270, 5250, telnet and FTP host connectivity product. BlueZone is easy to install and can reside on any Windows 95, 98, ME, XP, Windows NT, or Windows 2000 system where users require secure (using SSL and TLS encryption) and non-secure access to 3270, 5250, telnet and FTP hosts. Designed with administrators in mind for fast, simple, automated distribution to end users, BlueZone can easily be pre-configured for distribution from a web server, file server, terminal server, via Email or even on a single 3.5" floppy diskette.
From the end user perspective, BlueZone Desktop and BlueZone Web-to-Host share identical look, feel, and features, providing the same interface for internal users using BlueZone Desktop, and external web users using BlueZone Web-to-Host. The primary difference between the products is the method of delivery to the end users desktop. BlueZone Desktop can be installed just like any desktop application or, it can be installed via a web browser. BlueZone Web-to-Host is delivered and updated via a web browser with virtually no user intervention. Functionally, BlueZone Desktop and BlueZone Web-to-Host are identical. Throughout this help system, all references to BlueZone can be assumed to be applicable to both BlueZone Desktop and BlueZone Web-to-Host unless otherwise noted. For details on the installation and configuration of BlueZone Web-to-Host, on your web server, please refer to the BlueZone Web-to-Host QuickStart Guide located on the BlueZone CD.
BlueZone Web-to-Host users may not have access or been granted the authority to make changes to their configurations. All of the features listed in the on-line help are available to BlueZone Web-to-Host users and may be granted on a user, group, or global basis. See the BlueZone Administrator's Guide for detailed information about managing user configurations.
