Setup Menus 3270 Options This dialog box is displayed by clicking the 3270 Options button in the Telnet Options dialog box when TN3270 is not suppressed. Connect This specifies the name of the device which the server will be requested to assign to the Telnet session; it may be used when requesting either a terminal or a printer session. You can return the local host name by entering %s after the device name. To return the user name, enter %u after the device name. You can specify how many characters of the name is returned in each case. For example, %.3s will return the first three characters of the local host name, and %-.3s will return the last three characters. To automatically assign a new device name for each successive connection enter %dN% after the name, where N is a decimal value. Each time the host requests the device name a counter will be substituted into the device name. If the host rejects the device name as in use the counter will be incremented modulus N and the name retried until all possibilities have been tried, at which point the emulation will report a device name rejected error. For example, TEST%d4% will give TEST1 on all connections until the host rejects the name as in use, in which case TEST2 will be used. If this is already in use then TEST3 is used, or if already in use then TEST0. These values are preserved over power off, so the first connection of any given power on may not be TEST1. Assume that the start point is random. Note: There are separate counters for the IBM 3270 and IBM 5250 emulations. 8-14
