You can return the local host name by entering %s after the device name. To return the user name, enter %u after the device name. You can specify how many characters of the name is returned in each case. For example, %.3s will return the first three characters of the local host name, and %-.3s will return the last three characters.

To automatically assign a new device name for each successive connection, either enter %dN% after the name, where N is a decimal value, or %xN%, where N is a hexadecimal value. Each time the host requests the device name a counter will be substituted into the device name. If the host rejects the device name as in use the counter will be incremented modulus N and the name retried until all possibilities have been tried, at which point the emulation will report a device name rejected error.

For example, TEST%d4% will give TEST1 on all connections until the host rejects the name as in use, in which case TEST2 will be used. If this is already in use then TEST3 is used, or if already in use then TEST0. These values are preserved over power off, so the first connection of any given power on may not be TEST1. Assume that the start point is random.

Note: There are separate counters for the IBM 3270 and IBM 5250

emulations.

Getting Started

When you achieve a TN3270E connection, the LU device name that you are connected as will be displayed on the status line. If the specified device is rejected by the server or host, then an error message box will be displayed indicating the reason.

Associate

This is available when the IBM 3270 Model option is set to 3287-1 (a printer). It is used to request that the device name of the printer associated with a particular terminal is assigned to this Telnet session. The name of the terminal is specified here. (This is implemented as described in RFC 1647.)

TN3270E Options

TN3270E in implemented as described in RFC 1647. These options should not be changed unless required by your System Administrator.

The Bind setting determines whether or not the server is allowed to send the SNA Bind image and Unbind notification to the emulator.

When Responses is selected, positive and negative response handling is supported. It allows the server to reflect to the emulator any and all definite, exception, and no response requests sent by the host application.

When SysReq is selected, some (or all, depending on the server) of the functions of the SysReq key will be emulated and the server in an SNA environment.

The LU1 and LU3 Printer options are available when the IBM 3270 Model option is set to 3287-1 (a printer). They enable you to specify which printer type(s) to support.

TN5250 Options

This dialog box is displayed by clicking the 5250 Options button in the TCP/IP Telnet Configuration dialog box when TN5250 is not suppressed and the IBM 5250 Model is not set to 3812-1 or 5553-B01 (printers). Refer to the next section for 5250 Printer Options.

Device Name

This enables you to enter the name of the device which the server will be requested to assign to this Telnet session.

For example, TEST%d4% will give TEST1 on first connect, TEST2 on second,

TEST3 on third, TEST0 on fourth, TEST1 on fifth and so on. TEST%d100% will give TEST1 on first connect, TEST2 on second, ... TEST99 on

99th, TEST0 on 100th, TEST1 on 101st and so on. These values are preserved over power off, so the first connection of any given power

on may not be TEST1. Assume that the start point is random. In addition there is a single counter for the unit so concurrent sessions will start from subsequent values. For example, if session one uses TEST1 then session two will use TEST2.

Where a device name collision occurs (i.e. the device name is already in use on the host) the host will ask again for the device name during the same connection. In this

2-14

Getting Started

case TEST1, TEST2, ... may all be tried in one connection until the host accepts one, or all possibilities have been tried. In the latter case the same name is sent twice in succession to indicate to the host all names have been tried.

If concurrent 5250 sessions are started before a previous session has negotiated an acceptable device name, it is possible that the two sessions will access the counter simultaneously and not all possible names will be tried by each session. This should not cause a problem unless the separate sessions use different modulo values (for example, session one device name TEST%d4% and session two device name ANOTHER%d100%) or are connecting to different hosts.

Note: There are separate counters for the IBM 3270 and IBM 5250

emulations.

These options enable you to specify the initial entries required on the standard startup screen so that it can be bypassed. Each entry can be a maximum of ten characters.

Program

This enables you to specify the name of the initial program to run. The entry can be a maximum of ten characters.
