Chapter 5: HostConnect Connection Configuration
Configuring Host Connections
New Connection
Create a new HostConnect connection by clicking the add button in the
Configure tab of the main menu, then select HostConnect from the popup
window. The New Connection window will be displayed. The following
configuration items are also available from the Edit Connection button
for existing connections.
Connection Name
Choose a name to identify each connection you configure. The name can
be up to sixteen characters long. When you start the connection, the
name you chose will be shown in the title bar of the open Session Window.
Connection Type
The connection type is dependent upon the host system to which you will
connect. AS/400 hosts typically use TN5250 or TN5250E. IBM
mainframes use TN3270 and TN3270E. UNIX and most non-IBM
computers use ASCII emulation. To select a Connection Type, click on
the down arrow at the right of the drop-down list box and choose the
proper Connection Type for your host.
