LINCS Configuration
707023-003
File entries may be of the following types:
Name=resource
Where the name can be any alphanumeric name, 12 characters or less, and the resource is a
LINCS resource. LINCS resources that are valid include the name of a 3270 Host Class, or a
host designator followed by a comma and the two hex character address of the desired session.
Here is an example:
Console003=05,03
In this example, the resource name ‘console003’ would be configured in the TN3270E client
(LU Name field), and would be requested by the client emulator at connection time. The
resource that the 2XL will give to the client is session 03 from Host Circuit 05.
Name=resource password
This entry is exactly the same as the previous entry except that a password is added to the end
of the entry, separated from the rest of the entry with a space. In this instance, to receive the
requested resource, the user must enter the correct password. A corresponding example is
shown below:
Console003=05,03 pituitary
The password can be a combination of alphanumeric characters.
UserID-password
This type of entry is used to validate a user at connect time. It is used with all client types
defined on the TN3270 Client Definition panel that have the letters ‘ID’ included (‘Client
ID’, ‘VisaraNCT ID’, ‘Client+CC ID’). These client types will prompt the user for a User ID,
and if a valid User ID is given as found in the nickname.sys list, then the corresponding
password must be given to establish the connection. An example entry might appear like this:
Virgil-Bonita671
Notes:
1. No white space is permitted between the name, the equal sign, and the resource,
nor within the resource notation itself, except to permit the inclusion of a password.
2. Even though a Host ID may have been assigned to the Host Circuit, the only
notation that may be used in this definition can be the character representing the
Host Circuit (00-7F or A-Z, 1-6 for older code versions).
3. The address portion of the notation is a two digit hex value, and is offset from
00, regardless of what the actual addresses are, being used on the channel. (For
example if the address range of A0-A7 is being defined on the host, the 2XL
will refer to the range as 00-07 when assigning resources.)
4. The resource listed can be the name of a 3270 Host Class.
5. Entries are separated by a CR/NL in the file. A blank line will be interpreted as
the end of the file.
6. At least one valid port must be defined for use on the TN3270 client definition
panel. LINCS will only listen on TCP ports defined on the TN3270 Client
Definition panel for connecting TN3270 clients.
