Nexus Terminal

Nexus Terminal is a handy Telnet terminal emulator that supports SSL/TLS and SSH. It’s like having multiple tools rolled into one since it also works as a printer emulator and an FTP client (FTPS/SFTP). You get script functions, recording abilities, hotspots, and even keyboard customization options.

Visual Layout

Now, I won’t lie; the first look at Nexus Terminal might seem a bit cluttered. But don’t let that fool you! The busy layout is just because it combines so many features—like the terminal and printer emulators with the FTP client—all in one space.

User Information Display

The main screen shows server and user info right in the center using the default system font. It tries to display everything as large as possible for easy reading.

Useful Features

You’ll love how easy it is to switch between sessions with this app. You can close all sessions at once, print data, enable the Nexus Printer, and even cut, copy or paste your info. Plus, you can toggle word wrap mode on or off for both 3270 and 5250 emulation!

Customization Options

Nexus Terminal lets you pick colors for different types of emulation like 3270/5250 or VT/ANSI. You can activate hotspots to send attention keys or start scripts easily. There’s even an option to make your cursor blink! If you want to get fancy, you can work with various EBCDIC translation tables too.

File Transfer Settings

When it comes to file transfers, Nexus Terminal has your back! You can enter local and remote filenames, tweak ASCII/CRLF settings during transfers, and adjust logical record lengths. There are two keyboard setup options available depending on whether you're using 3270/5250 or VT/ANSI.

Session Setup Flexibility

You have complete freedom when setting up sessions—name them whatever you'd like! Choose your communication interface (TCP/IP or Serial) and connection type (Telnet, SSH, SSL/TLS). Just enter the host name and port number along with selecting terminal emulation modes.

Secure Connections

If security is your thing—and it should be—you can generate private/public SSH key files too! The printer supports Tn3287 and Tn5250 emulations along with SSL connections.

Final Thoughts

In short, Nexus Terminal packs a lot of power into its features but getting used to its layout might take some time. If you ever feel lost while tweaking things around, don’t forget there’s a help manual that can guide you through its many capabilities!
