character set (such as keyboard type, code page, and character set) to define the

• Users can enter lower case letters by pressing the shift key when the keyboard is set
in Caps Lock mode.
• Users can request to use a different font file with a particular printer session.
• Users can set either the Enter key or any function keys to repeat when held down.
• Users can eliminate the “no printer selected” message when using the default
Windows printer, therefore, eliminating the need for users to handle the “no printer
selected” message.
• Users can have a colored “blinking cursor”.

Client Access Express for Windows supports Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to enable users to
encrypt any or all of the functions and information flowing over the network (for example,
PC5250, Data Transfer, ODBC, and so forth). For those users preferring not to use SSL, their
OS/400 signon password is encrypted over TCP/IP if PC5250 is configured to use the
“Bypass Signon”.
IBM SecureWay Screen Customizer for Host Integration (with CSD 1.0.2) can be used with
Client Access Express PC5250. SecureWay Screen Customizer is a separately orderable
Licensed Program Product that automatically converts PC5250 host screens into an
easy-to-use graphical presentation. A default GUI is automatically presented for each 5250
screen at the client and features automatic menu buttons, defined input fields and hot spots.
It also includes a Customization Studio that enables an administrator to customize 5250
screens by adding new objects, changing fonts and colors, hiding host fields, reordering
workflow, combining data or automatically navigating the user through screens. This product
instantly transforms AS/400 and mainframe green screens without any programming or host
component counterpart. See
http://www-4.ibm.com/software/network/screencustomizer/ for
additional information.
Operations Navigator
Operations Navigator is the graphical user interface for the AS/400 system and is included in
Client Access Express for Windows. Several new functions have been added to Operations
Navigator to modernize and simplify AS/400 administration. See “AS/400 Client Access
Express Enhancements at V4R5M0” on page 468 for information on the improved graphical
interfaces available for operators and administrators connecting to AS/400 systems.
