SNMP System Location
This 64-character field describes the physical location of the LINCS node.
Valid characters are: alphanumeric, space, dollar, period, hyphen, and underscore.
SNMP System Contact
This 48-character field defines the name of the individual who is the contact person for this
LINCS node. Valid characters are: alphanumeric, space, dollar, period, hyphen, and underscore
SNMP System Name
This 48-character field defines the administratively-assigned name for this managed LINCS
node. By convention, the System Name is the fully qualified domain name. Valid characters
are: alphanumeric, space, dollar, period, hyphen, and underscore.
TN3270E
This TN3270 Server Option indicates whether you wish for LINCS to attempt to connect
TN3270 clients as TN3270E clients at Telnet negotiation time. If LINCS can not successfully
connect the client as a TN3270E client, LINCS will drop back to a standard TN3270 connection
attempt.
ATTN and SYSREQ
The TN3270 Current Practices RFC recommends using the following keys and/or Telnet
commands to communicate SYSREQ and ATTN keystrokes:
• Telnet Interrupt Process command ->; SYSREQ
• Telnet Break command ->; ATTN
The TN3270 Enhancements Draft recommends the following :
• Telnet Abort Output command ->; SYSREQ
• Telnet Interrupt Process command ->; ATTN
ATTN key toggles between Telnet Break (default) or Telnet Interrupt Process.
SYSREQ key toggles between Telnet Interrupt Process (default) or Telnet Abort Output.
3270 Translate
Some clients require 3270 local/remote command translation. If a command does not exist in
the configured format, then LINCS will not translate it.
3270 translate toggles to Disabled (default), Remote to Local, or Local to Remote.
Keep Alive Method
The configurable keep-alive mechanism periodically tests the TCP connection to the TN3270
client. Typically, a Telnet NOP command or Telnet DO TIMING-MARK option is sent by the
client or the server. LINCS is currently able to handle either one coming from the client.
