Connecting Using RFTerm
Before you make a host connection, you will, at a
minimum, need to know:
l
the alias name or IP address (Host Address)
and
l
the port number (Telnet Port) of the host system
to properly set up your host session.
1. Make sure the mobile client network settings
are properly configured. If you are connecting
via WLAN (802.11x), make sure your MX8 is
connected to the network.
2. Launch RFTerm by tapping the
RFTerm
icon
on the desktop.
3. Select
Session > Configure
from the
application menu and select the
host type
. This
is dependent on the host system to which you
are connecting; i.e., 3270 mainframe, AS/400
5250 server or VT host.
4. Enter the
Host Address
of the system. This
may either be a DNS name or an IP address of
the host system.
5. Update the
telnet port number
if your host
application is configured to listen on a specific
port. If not, use the default telnet port.
6. Select
OK
.
7. Select
Session > Connect
from the application
menu or tap the
Connect
button on the Tool
Bar.
