1174 Nickname Usage:
Nicknames are mapped on the 1174 to a resource, either a specific host and LU or to a
pool (3270 Host Class). Nicknames are configured on the client using the LU Name field
(may be called something different on some clients). Nicknames are configured into the
Nickname file on the 1174. The Nickname file is an optional text file that can be created
to map a variety of options for the TN3270 Server feature. Below is a sample of a
Nickname file that is coded with nicknames. Each entry consists of a nickname and the
corresponding resource separated by an equals sign (‘=‘).

CNA-8000 Nickname Usage:
Notes:
1)
Nickname resources that are associated with a Host Circuit and LU store the
information using the format for the resource of ‘Host_Circuit_number,LU
number’ on the 1174 and ‘Host-Circuit_name,LU_number’ on the CNA-8000.
