TN3270 Client Connections
A valid number of host connections is 0 to 250.
TN3270 Client Connections allows Network Devices running TELNET client software to
receive 3270 data. LINCS acts as a TN3270 server for the TN3270 clients (Network Devices).
Additional configuration options are on the TN3270 Client Definition panel, accessible from
the Configuration full menu.
TN3270 Client Connections requires the TN3270 Server Feature to be installed. You must
also enable 3270 Host Circuits on the General Options panel, so you can configure a 3270
host for the client to connect to.
IP Router
When enabled, LINCS will provide IP routing through this interface. Routing choices include:
• Static Routing Only - All routing table entries must be made statically.
• Static and Dynamic Routing - LINCS will add entries into the routing table based on
RIP V1 and RIP V2 broadcasts that have been received, but LINCS will not broadcast
the contents of the routing table to other routers.
• RIP Version 1 - LINCS will add entries into the routing table based on received RIP V1
and RIP V2 broadcasts, and will broadcast the contents of the routing table using RIP
V1.
• Rip Version 2 - LINCS will add entries into the routing table based on received RIP V1
and RIP V2 broadcasts, and will broadcast the contents of the routing table using RIP
V2.
BSD 4.2 IP Broadcast
If this option is enabled, LINCS will send two broadcasts. One is 4.2 compatible, and the
other is the standard broadcast address.
Note: BSD 4.2 broadcasts use all 0s as the destination address. Other implementations as
well as BSD 4.3 use all 1s as the destination address. If this option is disabled, LINCS will
send the standard broadcast address only.
Expanded IP Addressing
This is a special customer request feature that allows using IP addresses that are illegal for the
worldwide Internet.
For example, 192.000.000.xxx would normally be reserved, but with this field enabled, an
address of that type can be entered.
