Getting Started with 3270 Emulation
Fast Path to 3270 Terminal Emulation
The TN3270 product does not display a separate 3270 emulation screen
for a printer session.
Step 5. Begin emulation.
a. To access the session you want to use, from the main screen, press
Esc. If you see the No Active Display Session error message, choose
the <Exit Message> push button and then enable a session by
following the instructions in Step 3 of this fast path.
Motif Use the mouse to move to the window containing the session you
want to use.
End of section
b. Follow logon or application instructions to use your 3270 session. For
an explanation of information presented on the status line at the
bottom of the display for your 3270 session, see “Understanding the
3270 Status Line”.
Step 6. Switch between active 3270 sessions by pressing the SESS n session
selection key that corresponds to the number of the session you want to
move to (default keystrokes are Esc 1–Esc 0 for sessions 1–10), or pressing
NEXTSESS (default keystroke Ctrl + V) to move to the next session, until
you reach the session you want.
Motif The SESS n and NEXTSESS keys are not supported in the Motif
program. Use the mouse to move to the window containing the session
you want to use.
End of section
Step 7. Exit emulation by performing the following steps:
Step 1. Log off all hosts. (Logging off is recommended but not always necessary.
The TN3270 emulation program can terminate active sessions if you exit
emulation without logging off. However, with some host applications this
can cause problems when you next try to log on.)
Step 2. Press EXIT (default keystroke Ctrl + X) to exit emulation and return to the
HP-UX command prompt.
Step 3. If any 3270 sessions are active, a message will be displayed asking you to
confirm the exit.
