Power Off Action
This is a toggle field that defines what will happen to sessions connected to a host when the
device powers off. The following are the options.
• None - The session state will remain intact when the device powers off.
• Unbind SNA Sessions - All sessions connected to an SNA host will be unbound when
the display powers off. Selecting this option will provide some security if a device is to
be shared by multiple users.
• Disconnect all Sessions - All sessions connected to a host will be disconnected when the
device powers off. This frees up the host resources for connection by other devices.
Session
This is a protected field which identifies the 10 sessions which are available on each CUT
device. It is used in conjunction with the Default Host Assignments field to uniquely identify
each session.
Default Host Assignments
These fields are used to assign hosts to device sessions. The host assignments defined in the
Device Profile serve as the default host assignments for all devices which are assigned that
profile, if LINCS is prompted to assign the defaults. It is not required to fill in this portion of
the profile in order to make assignments later.
Each session (A-J) has a field which can be used to make a default host assignment. This field
toggles to all available hosts, classes, connect menus, and disable.
All default host assignments may be overridden on the Device Profile Assignments panel.
3270 Host Class
On this example, MOD2 identifies a 3270 Host Class for the session. All 3270 classes that
have been defined are displayed as toggle choices.
3270 Host
All 3270 hosts that have been defined are displayed as toggle choices. Once a selection is
chosen, a specific LU assignment can be made on the Device Profile Assignments panel,
either by manually entering the LU number, or by using the PF3-Asn_Dflt_LUs key.
In this example, IBM_RING identifies a 3270 Host Circuit. If no host ID is defined, the host
letter is displayed.
3270 Host Class Connection Menu
The 3270 Host Class Connection menu allows the user to select a 3270 Host Class from a
menu of available host classes. The user may also specify a specific 3270 Host session from
this menu, if configured to allow it.
