Getting Started
TN3270 Options
This dialog box is displayed by clicking the 3270 Options button in the TCP/IP
Telnet Configuration dialog box when TN3270 is not suppressed.
Connect
This specifies the name of the device which the server will be requested to assign to
the Telnet session; it may be used when requesting either a terminal or a printer
session.
You can return the local host name by entering %s after the device name. To return
the user name, enter %u after the device name. You can specify how many
characters of the name is returned in each case. For example, %.3s will return the
first three characters of the local host name, and %-.3s will return the last three
characters.
To automatically assign a new device name for each successive connection, either
enter %dN% after the name, where N is a decimal value, or %xN%, where N is a
hexadecimal value. Each time the host requests the device name a counter will be
substituted into the device name. If the host rejects the device name as in use the
counter will be incremented modulus N and the name retried until all possibilities
have been tried, at which point the emulation will report a device name rejected error.
For example, TEST%d4% will give TEST1 on all connections until the host rejects
the name as in use, in which case TEST2 will be used. If this is already in use then
TEST3 is used, or if already in use then TEST0. These values are preserved over
power off, so the first connection of any given power on may not be TEST1. Assume
that the start point is random.
Note: There are separate counters for the IBM 3270 and IBM
5250 emulations.
When you achieve a TN3270E connection, the LU device name that you are
connected as will be displayed on the status line. If the specified device is rejected by
the server or host, then an error message box will be displayed indicating the reason.
