• Total LUs – The number of LUs configured for the indicated class.
• Connected – The number of LUs in the indicated class already connected or in use.
• Available – The number of LUs in the indicated class available for connection. If the Restrict
Connection to Active LUs feature is enabled for a host, then this number will only reflect
those LUs that are currently active.
To connect to an LU in a 3270 class, enter the class name or class number in the “Connect to:”
field on the panel and press . If an LU is available, and the device is authorized to
connect to the specified class, the connection will occur.
To connect to a specific LU, enter the specific host (host identifier or host letter) and LU
number in hexadecimal in the “Connect to:” field. For example, enter a,02 for host “a, LU 02”.
If the LU is available, and the device is authorized for “Dynamic Access” to 3270 hosts, the
connection will occur.
If you attempt to connect to class 01, but no LUs are active in Class 01, a message will appear
as shown in the example. At this point you may press PF2 if you choose to queue to connect to
a LU in the class when one becomes active. If you do so, then your session will automatically
be connected to a LU in Class 01 when one becomes active.
Host sessions can disconnect from a 3270 LU in one of the following ways:
• Press the “Extended Select-D” key combination.
• Power off the Device. This will cause all sessions to be disconnected, if the “Power Off
Action” field in the Device Profile specifies “Disconnect All Sessions”.
• An authorized user can disconnect hosts using the “Display/Update Host Connections”
utility, available in Central Control Mode.
