Logging In with Multisessions
The following is a typical procedure for logging in at a session management
terminal with MULTISESSIONS enabled at the access server port:
In local mode, you can enter access server commands at the access server prompt.
(The Local Mode Command Restrictions During Session Management table lists
command restrictions that apply to session management terminals.) If you enter
LOCAL as a service name for a terminal session, the access server places the port
in local mode.
Step Action
1 Press the Return key once or twice to obtain the introductory banner and
username prompt. After the user optionally enters a user name, the access
server invokes session management, and the terminal prompts the user for
a network resource name. The access server then uses that name to create a
session for the terminal session. If a preferred service is defined and
AUTOCONNECT is enabled, the access server starts a session with the
preferred service. If you do not enter a network resource name for a
terminal session, the access server places the port in local mode.
2 Request additional terminal sessions (and associated sessions) by entering
a terminal command. The terminal prompts the user again for a network
resource name for each terminal session. The access server creates a session
for each terminal session.
3 Switch among your terminal sessions by using a switch session key on the
terminal keyboard.
