About this app

Glink 5250 for Android is a terminal emulator for Android tablets, smartphones, barcode scanners, mobile computers and Chrome devices.

Glink 5250 is used to access applications running on IBM iSeries/AS400 systems. Glink 5250 emulates all IBM 5250 terminals and uses the TN5250 protocol for communication with the host systems.

Glink brings you a high quality and proven emulator for your Android tablets, smartphones, barcode scanners, mobile computers and Chrome devices.

Glink supports GlinkProxy, a server application designed to provide persistent host connections for Glink clients where the connection from the client device is unreliable. This may be because the device enters sleep mode or goes out of Wi-Fi range.
