Telnet 3270 Server Configuration: Application Routing

Use this panel to set the application access method when a client connects to a server.

When assigning applications, you must understand some characteristics of the clients connecting. If the client is a terminal, then it is likely connecting to an application that provides full screen TN3270 support. However, it may be connecting to a line mode application such as TSO. There are several ways of setting up application access based on the characteristics of the client and the application.

Before you begin, decide the application access method you want for a client connecting to the TN3270 server.

Steps

  1. Click Open an application, if you want to always use the same application. The TN3270 server will connect the client directly with the application.
  2. Click Display a USSMSG10 panel, if you have an existing USS (Unformatted System Services) table. Specify the USS table name.

    An assembled and linked USS table can be used directly by Telnet.

  3. Click Display the Telnet Solicitor panel if you want the default. The client will need to supply a user ID, password and application name.
  4. Enter a application name for line mode sessions if you want to override the default.

You have completed this panel if you have clicked a button to indicate a selection under either 3270 full screen mode sessions or line mode sessions.
