LINCS Configuration
707023-003
Ignore all LU requests from TN3270 clients - The normal value for this option (‘Disabled’),
results in LINCS attempt to honor any request for a specific host, address combination from
the TN3270 client at connection time, as long as the format of the request is valid. This
attempt overrides what has been configured for that device.
Enabling this option will cause LINCS to ignore all such requests from the clients and only
permit what has been configured to be assigned.
Only Supervisor Displays can enter Test Mode - By enabling this option, only CUT devices
assigned a user profile that includes an enabled ‘Supervisor Authority’ option, will be allowed
to enter Test (Central Control) Mode.
Maximize TN3287 response timer – This RPQ increases by ten-fold the amount of time
allowed a TN3287 printer to indicate that it has completed the print job. This was created to
allow more time for someone to correct a paper out condition on printers that are not monitored
very closely.
Do Not Disc ESCON SNA PU on CU Reset – Enabling this RPQ allows for SSCP Takeover
to occur by not taking down the SNA PU when an ESCON DISCONNECT occurs. The PU
can then accept a warm start from the new SSCP.
Delay NSNA LAN print until FF sequence received - Enabling this option will cause Non-
SNA data streams directed to a printer to be queued to the hard drive of the SCON unit until
a specific sequence of ‘%0C%’ is received in the data stream. When the sequence is received,
the entire queued print is forwarded to the LAN printer. This permits the host to select the
printer device multiple times during the sending of a single print job.
When disabled, LINCS will treat each selection of the printer device as a separate print job.
Don’t optimize outbound data to an ASCII display – LINCS normally optimizes outbound
data to an ASCII display to make the interface more efficient, since an ASCII display over a
serial link has a limited bandwidth to work with. For example LINCS will write only the parts
of the screen that have changed as a result of a new data stream. Enabling this RPQ will cause
LINCS to refresh the entire screen and not optimize the data stream.
Don’t send Restore Kybd to TN3270 Client for NonSNA end-of-chain - Normally, LINCS
restores the keyboard for TN3270 clients when a Non-SNA end-of-chain is received, because
many of them do not restore their own keyboards automatically. This RPQ causes LINCS not
to automatically restore the keyboard, forcing the client emulator to restore it.
Don’t send Restore Kybd to TN3270 Client for NonSNA Deselect - Normally, LINCS
restores the keyboard for TN3270 clients when a NonSNA Deselect occurs, because many of
them do not restore their own keyboards automatically. This RPQ causes LINCS not to
automatically restore the keyboard, forcing the client emulator to restore it.
TN3270 clients MUST specify an LUNAME - Only clients that negotiate an LUNAME, are
allowed to connect, and only if there is a LINCS entry corresponding to that.
Ignore ICMP Redirect – When enabled, the internal routing table will not cache ICMP
Redirect requests. This will cause LINCS to attempt to send packets through the configured
default router each time.
