Chapter 5: HostConnect Connection Configuration

Host Name / Address
The Visara supports Domain Name Services (DNS) names to make
connections with network servers. The Host Name/Address field therefore
supports DNS names of the host system with which a connection is to be
established. For example, the Library of Congress TN3270 server name
is “LOCIS.LOC.GOV”. This field also supports the IP address of the
host system with which a connection is to be established. The Library of
Congress IP address for example, is 140.147.254.3.
Terminal Type
HostConnect supports various models of 3270, 5250 and ASCII terminals
as described below:
• 5250 Terminals
HostConnect supports emulation of a variety of 5250 terminal models,
including 132-column mode and Text Assist. If the TN5250E protocol
is selected and supported by the host, advanced features such as device-
name selection and sign-on bypass are available. In addition,
HostConnect supports a printer emulation under TN5250E.
Emulation of the following 5250 terminal models is included in
HostConnect. All models support Text Assist:
