i am new to the BB world as i just got a BB curve 8320. i was trying to find some information on connecting to my AS400 from the 8320. any info would be appreciated. Thanks
Welcome to Cracberry! I think you need to be a bit more specific than just letters and a number. I'm just throwing out a guess, is it a blue tooth headset? Without more information, I'm afraid we can't help you.
You may want to check out some of the links under Newbies or even the Hardware or Bluetooth sections for more information.
no i want to connect remotely. from my pc i open a vpn connection to our network and then use either iseries access or a TN5250 emulator to connect to the AS400. i would like to do the same from my blackberry.
Hello the AS 400 is an inventory system that connects with an IBM computer. Your API for the phone will not allow you to connect to the AS 400 system as security measures will prove impossible to get around.
If you are looking for a telnet/SSH program to connect, Google this one
MidpSSH | SSH and Telnet client for Mobile devices (MIDP/J2ME)
I cannot post a link because I only have a couple posts. I have never tried it myself so I can't say if it works or not. Let me know if you try it and get good results. As far as a VPN solution goes I don't know of any, but I am sure you are not the first person wanting this so who knows.
Rove Mobile is the way to go. (one 400 guy to another). I have the legacy product MobileSSH when it was formerly Idokorro and now you have to buy the whole Mobile Admin package I believe. I use it almost every day.
You're probably looking for a 5250 emulator. The only one I'm aware of is paid. Its MobileSSH, I dont know if you can buy is separately any more though, its now owed by Rove, link is a few posts up.
I'am happy to give this MIDLET
for free
to tester/friends
BUT
- I want to give the program to few person and the program must not be shared (I dont wont to find this program in some P2P or download )
- The program is created for my personal use so consider only for test (i.e. disclaimer for all ... bug in primis)
- I dont wont that some one try to decompile and/or alter the program
So if some one is interested
and accept this simple rules
(is a temporary "gift" for just for someone)
we have 2 solution:
a) if you have a fixed IP address for the AS400 (as I have) you just send this information to me and I har code this IP code in the program (port and device number are unlocked)
b) If you dont have this fixed IP adderss (strange but possible)
when I have time
I will introduce a PIN system verification (I hate to do it)
and so send to me the pin
