Enabling a Win32 Client

To enable the SNAplus2 software on a Windows 95 computer, either double-click on the Win32 Client icon, or use the normal Windows “File Run” mechanisms to run sxclappl.exe. On a Windows NT computer, start the Win32 client service from the control panel.

On both Windows 95 and Windows NT systems, the installation program sets up the system to start the Win32 client when the computer is started.

The client then uses the information in the Windows Program Registry, described in “Win32 Client Configuration”, to locate a server running SNAplus2.

On a Windows 95 system, if the server is set up to validate user names for Win32 clients (as described in “Win32 Client Security”), SNAplus2 displays a pop-up message requesting a password. You must type in a password. SNAplus2 uses this password and the user name configured for the Win32 client to validate that you are authorized to access the server. If the server is not set up to validate user names, the pop-up message does not appear.

Disabling SNAplus2 for a Win32 Client

Before disabling the client, ensure that all SNAplus2 applications (3270 and 5250 emulation programs, or applications using the SNAplus2 APIs) on the Win32 client have been stopped.

To disable the client on a Windows 95 system, click on the Win32 Client icon and choose Close. On a Windows NT system, stop the Win32 client service from the Control Panel.
