The second field of the Host Assignment for each session is one of two options:
• a blank: the device will POR with the 3270 Connect menu displayed.
• a number: you may input:
• 02-255 (decimal) or 02-FF (hex) for SNA
• 00-31 (decimal) or 00-1F (hex) for BSC or ESCON Non-SNA
• 00-127 (decimal) or 00-7F (hex) for Bus and Tag Channel Non-SNA
ASCII Host or Class
The second field should contain a specific ASCII Host port number or an ASCII Class number.
ASCII Hosts are identified by the ADA board letter (A-D) plus the port number on the ADA
(0-7). For example, ADAA.000 would be represented as A0.
ASCII Classes are identified by the class number; no letters. A session which powers on with
an ASCII class assigned will gain access to an ASCII Host in the indicated class. If no ASCII
hosts in that class are available, the ASCII Host connect panel will be displayed.
LAN Print Server Session Assignment
% denotes an LPD or TCP Print Server. The second field is the LAN Print Server Class,
which you configured on the TCP/IP LAN Print Server Classes panel. Assigning a LAN Print
Server Class to a port causes any print data received by the print server to print on that port.
The device profile assigned to that port on this panel must be for a printer.
LAN Print Server sessions can be assigned to directly attached printers or coax host addressable
printer (HAP) sessions, but not to LAN printer sessions, or ASCII host addressable (HAP)
printer sessions.
Assigning Default LUs
Two PF keys are available for defaulting the values on the Device Profile Assignments panel.
They are useful if you change the Device Profile field on this panel, or if you change the host
assignments in the Device Profile used on this panel. The default host assignments are the
Host Assignments from the Device Profiles, and can be applied by pressing:
• PF9-Default changes the host assignments on this panel to the host assignments that are
in the device profiles. No 3270 LUs are assigned; you must enter the second field of the
Host-letter/LU pair.
• PF3-Asn_Dflt_LUs changes the host assignments for all ports (not just the ones being
displayed) to the host assignments that are in the device profiles. In addition, LUs will
be assigned to all 3270 Host sessions, but LUs which have been previously assigned
will be skipped. Other LUs are assigned on panels:
• 3270 Host Classes
• LU to PU Mapping Profiles
• Local Format Storage (only if the Multiple LFS LUs per Host RPQ is enabled)
• TN3270 Client Definitions
