Pressing PF9-Default will default the fields to the Host Assignments defined in each device’s
Device Profile, but not the value in the Device Profile column.
Note that a specific 3270 LU or Asynchronous ASCII Host may be assigned to multiple
devices. This may be useful if a given user has two terminals (for example one at his/her desk
and one in some other location) and needs the same Host Assignments at each location. By
powering off the terminal in one location, the host resources will be made available for the
terminal in the other location, assuming that the Power Off Action field in the Device Profile
is set to Disconnect All Sessions.
3270 Host Class
If the first field is =, then the second field is a 3270 class number. When a device powers on
which has a 3270 class assigned, it will gain access to a 3270 LU in the indicated class. If no
3270 LUs in that class are available, the 3270 connect panel will be displayed.
IP Host Class
If the first field is >, then the second field should contain a specific IP class number. When the
device powers on, the session will be connected to the indicated class.
LAT Host Class
If the first field is +, then the second field should contain a specific LAT class number. When
the device powers on, the session will be connected to the indicated class.
If the host is not available, the session will power on with the LAT connect panel displayed.
Some keyboards do not have an @ available for indicating LAT sessions. If you wish to override
host assignments with LAT sessions, a z or Z may be typed in place of the @ to indicate LAT.
For example, z in column 1 of the host assignment would indicate LAT Class, and a ZC or ZD
in column 2 on the host assignment panel would indicate the LAT connect panels.
Connect Menu
The main Connect Menu will appearif an * is located in the first field.
3270 Host
00-7F
The characters represent a 3270 Host, as shown at the top of the 3270 Host Circuit panels.
PF3-Asn_Dflt_LUs can be used to assign LUs to all sessions with a 3270 host. Note that
when PF3 is pressed, LUs are assigned for all devices, not just the devices currently being
displayed. LUs numbers will be assigned sequentially, skipping over LU numbers that have
already been assigned on other panels. Those panels are:
• 3270 Host Classes
• LU to PU Mapping
• TN3270 Client Definitions
• Local Format Storage, when the Multiple LFS LUs per Host RPQ is enabled
