Configuring TN Server Access Records

TN server access records indicate which TN3270 clients can access the TN server and which LUs they should use. Each access record identifies a TN3270 client that is permitted to access the TN server, the TCP/IP port that the client connects to, and the LU or LU pool that the client uses. You can also define default records that enable access by any TN3270 client.

If you want to permit any TN3270 client to use the TN server and you want all TN3270 clients to use the same LUs or LU pools, you can define a default record.

TN3270 clients can use the TN server only when the node, port, and link station are active.

To configure a TN server access record, use one of the following methods:

Motif administration program

Select TN server from the Services menu on the Node window, and TN server from the submenu. On the resulting window, select the TN Server Client Access Permissions pane and choose New.

Command-line administration program Issue the following command:
