Connecting Interactive Devices
Interactive devices allow users to directly access the network. Interactive devices
are typically terminals, but can be PCs and computers. The communications
server is preconfigured to operate with most standard terminals, PCs, or
computers. To use a terminal, PC, or computer as an interactive device to access
the network, simply connect it into a port on the communications server.
You can configure interactive devices for both LAT and Telnet sessions.
Optionally, you can specify the following for the ports used for LAT and Telnet
sessions:
•
LAT group codes (LAT only)
•
Autoconnect (LAT only)
•
Autoprompt (LAT only)
•
A default protocol
•
Failover (LAT only)
•
Port queuing (LAT only)
•
A session management (TD/SMP) terminal
•
On-demand loading for Asian terminals (LAT only)
•
Telnet client session profile (Telnet only)
•
