Products: ClearPath A Series Terminal Tool (C.A.T.T.)
C.A.T.T. offers:
System Administrator's Dream Mode
When you set up C.A.T.T. using System Administrator's Dream Mode, deployment couldn't be easier! You do not deploy the program or its configuration files to the users' PCs. Instead, these are stored on one or more Servers. All you store on a user's PC is an icon. When the user clicks the icon, his system loads C.A.T.T. from your Server (a mere 3 MB) and reads the configuration information from your Server (never more than 128K). The program runs on the user's PC. The user cannot create or modify connection information - i.e., the host name, port number, or station name used to make the connection. However, he can modify his other preference information (e.g., screen colors, etc.). When you get a new version of C.A.T.T. simply replace your old version on your Server. Users will automatically get the new version the next time they run the program.
The system administrator also has complete control over the site-wide option defaults for your users. Define a "default" set of option settings - font selection, colors, xmit and receive options, etc. - and they are automatically inherited by your users. The user can later tailor them, and his changes are saved in a separate file. That file is also stored on your Server (at your option) where, if you so choose, you can remove the file to force the user back to the site-wide defaults.
Quality software deserves quality support
The C.A.T.T. Annual Support Plan includes support, updates, enhancements, and improvements to the software and documentation. The support plan is a cost-effective way to ensure that your software remains compatible with vendor changes to the operating system and communications software and that you continue to receive all the new product features that are released. Additional licenses can be purchased at discounts based on the quantity of licenses under a current support plan.
Optional Secure Communications
In addition to being a world class terminal emulator, C.A.T.T. provides secure terminal emulation. Under MCP 13 and above, C.A.T.T. supports the Unisys native MCP Telnet-SSL and CCF-SSL facilities. Using the latest versions of TLS available, C.A.T.T. with the CATTSecured capability provides complete end-to-end encryption of all messages between the emulator software and the MCP host including Telnet/CCF protocol exchanges and MARC logon messages. This facility's strong protocols and encryption defeats attempts to capture clear-text logons and user data.
Beyond the Unisys options, C.A.T.T. also supports the MGS, Inc. SecureCATT Encryption Server software that provides an AES encrypted secure communications link between the C.A.T.T. Unisys Terminal emulation software and your MCP Server. Whether you connect to your MCP system using Telnet or using CCF, SecureCATT encrypts all data sent and received by the C.A.T.T. Emulator, including Telnet/CCF protocol exchanges and MARC logon messages. No longer can someone with a TCP/IP sniffer see your clear-text MCP usercodes/passwords and your data.
