4.1 InfoConnect UTS

InfoConnect UTS is a terminal emulation program that causes your PC to operate like a Unisys UTS 20/40/60 terminal. When you run UTS, your PC can communicate with a Unisys ClearPath IX series, 1100/2200 Series, or System 80 host.

UTS runs within Accessory Manager. The relationship between the two is similar to the relationship between a document and a word processor. When you run a word processor, you have a single application window, and no matter which document you open, there are functions that are common to all the documents. Likewise, when you run Accessory Manager, you have a single application window, and no matter which terminal emulation session you open, there are functions that are common to all the emulators.

Just as a word processor can open multiple documents at once, Accessory Manager can run multiple terminal emulation sessions at once. For example, using Accessory Manager, you can open one session using UTS to connect to a Unisys ClearPath IX series or 1100/2200 Series host and then open a second session using T27 to connect to a ClearPath NX/LX series or Unisys A Series host. Or you can open multiple sessions using one emulator, such as four sessions using UTS.

UTS also provides the following features:

  • Default terminal keystrokes that let you perform almost all UTS 20/40/60 functions

  • Predefined keyboard maps

  • Predefined color schemes

  • Predefined QuickPads

  • Predefined HotSpot schemes

  • OS 2200 Editor and MAPPER file transfer protocols
