Field Definitions:
Nickname: This is the defined nickname that is to be configured in the client’s
configuration in the ‘LU Name’ field. (Note that the name of this field may vary from
one client software package to another.) The Nickname control serves two purposes.
Normally it will display a list of previously defined Nicknames. To define a new
Nickname, press the [New] button. This will cause the Nickname control to change into a
data entry field. You may then enter the desired new Nickname and associated
information. Press the [Update] button to save the entered data and change the Nickname
control back into a dropdown control.
Host Selection Button: If selected, the Host dropdown control will allow you to select
from among the defined Hosts. Also the LU field will be enabled to allow you to enter a
valid value.
Host Dropdown Control: Provides a list of names for all configured Host Circuits. This
allows you to define which host the nickname is to have assigned to it. This control
should only be enabled when the Host Selection Button is selected.
LU: This field allows you to identify the device session number belonging to the
selected Host that you wish to assign to the nickname. This field is only enabled if the
Host indicator is selected.
Pool Dropdown Control: This control is populated with all of the names of the pools
that have been configured. This control should only be enabled when the Pool Selection
Button is selected.
Button Definitions:
Return: Selecting this returns you to the TN3270 Configuration menu.
Update: Pressing this button saves the changes that you have made while on this panel.
New: Pressing this button will cause the Nickname control to turn into a data entry field
allowing you to define a new Nickname. The [New] button displays only if there is one
or more Nicknames defined.
Delete: Select the Nickname from the dropdown list that you wish to eliminate, and
press the [Delete] button. After confirming the deletion, the selected Nickname will be
removed from the list.
