- Difference between Lite and Paid version
The lite version has a 5 minutes session limitation.

- What type of SSL is used
TN5250 can use the SSL/TLS protocol build into the iPhone OS. Certificates are not supported

Cannot make a connection to the AS/400
Either

wrong IP address for the AS/400

The Telnet server is not running on the AS/400

A firewall stopping access on port 23.

The iPhone/iPad is not on the same network as the AS/400

- How to connect to an AS/400 from the Internet (EDGE)
To allow a connection with the iPhone on the EDGE network or another wifi network, maybe at your local Cafe, you must configure the router/firewall protecting your office network to allow traffic on port 23 or 992 if using SSL. This could be a security risk! Read the router manual for advice.

An example:
I have a router at my office, which connect to the Internet. It has IP address 88.1.2.44 on the Internet. The router has a fixed IP address on the Internet, if your internet provider (ISP) gives a dynamic address, a solution could be to use a service as NO-IP

Our Office AS/400 has a fixed IP address on the local network (wifi) at 192.168.2.2

In the router firewall configuration I have configured, if it receives data on port 23 (or 992 if SSL is enabled in TN5250), forward it to 192.168.2.2.
When on the EDGE network with the iPhone, I will in TN5250 as AS/400 IP address write

88.1.2.44 , and as port 23 (Not the IP address for the AS/400!)

Copy a configuration to another device
Export In menu - configure, click on "export", and the data for the first configuration will be send to the email program as an URL.

User id, and password will not be copied.

Import Either send the email to the target device, or have the URL on a web page, which can be clicked in the Web browser on the target device.

Elements in the URL will overwrite the existing values in the configuration.
