Connecting to a TN5250 session
TN5250 will connect to the remote host. The host then will normally respond with
a welcome and will lead you through its log in process. Log in, employing one of
the following combinations:
• With the userid and password supplied by the administrator of the host
• With just a userid (some hosts do not require passwords)
• Neither, if the remote host has been set up for it.
To connect to a TN5250 remote host from the main TN5250 screen:
1. Click Session to open the TN5250 Session menu.
2. Click Connect.
Once connected, use the menus, commands and features of the remote host to
access and run 5250 applications.
