Getting Started with 3270 Emulation
Fast Path to 3270 Terminal Emulation
a. From the main screen of the program, pull down the Control menu,
and choose Display Sessions. From an active 3270 session, press
ACTIONS (default keystroke Ctrl + U) to access the main screen.
b. In the Control Display Sessions dialog box, highlight the session you
want to enable.
c. Choose <Change Status>. The status changes from Disabled to
Enabled.
d. Repeat the enabling process for as many sessions as you need.
e. Highlight the session you want to use first, and choose <Make
Current>. Three asterisks (***) mark this session as the current
session.
If your system is configured correctly and the connection to the host is
active, the status changes briefly to SSCP, and then to TN3270.
f. Choose <Done> to return to the main screen.
Motif Each enabled session appears as a new window on the Motif screen.
When you return to the main screen, the TN3270 emulation program
automatically displays the session window containing the current
session.
End of section
Step 4. Enable one or more 3287 printer sessions (optional).
Before using a session for printer emulation, you must enable it. (You do
not need to enable a printer session for local copy printing, which uses a
display session.) If the session you want to use is already enabled, or if
you are not using any printer sessions, skip this step and continue with
the next step to begin emulation.
a. From the main screen, pull down the Control menu, and choose
Printer Sessions.
b. In the Control Printer Sessions dialog box, highlight the session you
want to enable from the list of sessions.
c. Choose <Change Status>. The status changes from Disabled to
Enabled.
d. Enable as many additional printer sessions as you need.
e. Choose <Done> to return to the main screen.
