Sessions Menu

Depending on the way you configure your connection, one of two sessions’ menus displays:

◆If you connect to a server using an IP address, the emulator will open with a session. Once you return to the main menu, the first choice on the main menu will be Sessions. Use this method to connect with preexisting connection definitions.

◆If you connect to a server without using an IP address (simply typing

5250 in the Description field of the Connection Properties dialog box), a session will not be opened, but the main menu will display. In this menu the first choice will be Open Session. Use this menu to open your initial session. Use this method to create new connection definitions.
