Configuring Host Connections
New Connection
Create a new HostConnect connection by clicking the add button in the Configure tab
of the main menu, then select HostConnect from the popup window. The New Connection
window will be displayed. The following configuration items are also available from
the Edit Connection button for existing connections.
Connection Name
Choose a name to identify each connection you configure. The name can be up to
sixteen characters long. When you start the connection, the name you chose will be
shown in the title bar of the open Session Window.
Connection Type
The connection type is dependent upon the host system to which you will connect. AS/
400 hosts typically use TN5250 or TN5250E. IBM mainframes use TN3270 and
TN3270E. UNIX and most non-IBM computers use ASCII emulation. To select a
Connection Type, click on the down arrow at the right of the drop-down list box and
choose the proper Connection Type for your host.
