3270 Terminal Emulator
This option provides full screen, 24 by 80, 3270 terminal emulation. It can be run
from either the service or dialup modem port. It is useful for verifying the initial
installation and for developing Dialog Scripts.
Select
Emulator
from the
SDLC/TR Network Menu
and a prompt, for the LU that
is used for establishing a session with the host, appears. Enter the number of an
IDLE
LU. See
Status
on Page 2-14. The host logon or screens (depending upon
the script, etc.) appear on the terminal.
If the LU number that is entered has not been defined as ACTIV, the host returns
the message
INACTIVE
. If the Host system defined the LU as something other
than a 3278 Model 2 with a 24 by 80 presentation space, a
SESSION BIND
failure
message is returned. Other emulator startup errors may require analysis using the
Line Trace Facility
(see Page 3-17).
The emulator provides the following keyboard translations to accommodate non-
3270 keyboards
