PROBLEM: The MinIT 5250E can successfully ping the AS/400 but you're still not getting a
session from the AS/400.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: Improper configuration of the subsystem used for the virtual devices.

SOLUTION: Our product emulates different IBM terminals depending on the color and width
selection. For 132 wide configurations, the MinIT 5250E emulates an IBM 3477 terminal. For
monochrome 80 wide, it emulates a 5251. For 80 wide color configuration it emulates 3179.
This means your subsystem (typically, QINTER) must allow a 3179. You can check this by
typing "WRKSBSD *ALL", locate the subsystem you're using for the virtual devices, take
option "5" (Display), and hit .

On the next display, select option "5" (Workstation type entries) and hit the key.

On the next display, you should see a "Type" of "*all", or a type of "3179". If you do see a
"Type" of "*all", or a type of "3179" then take option "5" (Display workstation type details)
and hit the key.

On the next display you should see an appropriate value for the "Maximum active jobs"
parameter. You can make changes in one or both cases by typing "CHGWSE" (or
"ADDWSE"), hitting the key, and making the appropriate changes.
