3 = Hot Session (Mod 3 with Extended Data Stream Support)

4 = Hot Session (Mod 4 with Extended Data Stream Support)

5 = Hot Session (Mod 5 with Extended Data Stream Support)

6 = Hot Session (Mod 2 with No Extended Data Stream Support)

7 = Hot Session (Mod 3 with No Extended Data Stream Support)

8 = Hot Session (Mod 4 with No Extended Data Steam Support)

9 = Hot Session (Mod 5 with No Extended Data Stream Support)

The leftmost column corresponds to the Device Low address, defined above. All device

addressing on subsequent panels are referenced from this offset of ‘00’.

Note that only the console sessions should be configured as hot (not the normal VTAM

sessions).

Shared Sessions

Shared Sessions allows two or more TN3270 clients to share the same console session. Up to

twenty-four TN3270 users can be configured to share the same session. Coax and Telnet

clients are not allowed to share the session. Only console sessions can be shared. VTAM

applications will not function correctly when configured as shared. All TN3270 clients sharing

the same session should be configured for the same MOD size and should have the same

Color and Extended Attribute support (the first user to connect sets the standard for the session).

For shared sessions that are also hot, the MOD size will be defined by the hot session

configuration unless a TN3270 client is connected when the LPAR powers up. To designate a

session to be shared, change the 0 value to a 1 for that session.

LAN Address

This field contains the Ethernet node hardware address of the LINCS node. It is a 12-character

hexadecimal address, and can be any hex value you wish, but must be unique on the network.

Within the most significant byte, the lowest bit specifies a group address and the next bit

specifies a locally administered address. Ethernet addresses configured by LINCS must be

arranged in IEEE format where the most significant bit is on the right of each byte.

You may use the unique burned-in address of the Ethernet card by entering a value of “0000

0000 0000” for the LAN Address field.
