3270

TN3270 Enhanced Protocol—These options are valid only for TN3270E hosts.

Use TN3270E When Supported—Determines whether HostExplorer connects to a host using the TN3270E protocol. By default, this option is selected.

Note:

Clear this option if you are experiencing problems connecting to a host.

LU Name—Lets you enter multiple LU names that are available for a host. (The LU contains the necessary information needed to connect to an SNA network.) When connecting, HostExplorer tries each LU name in the list (starting at the top) until it finds one that is not in use. If all the names in the list are in use, the connection is refused.

This option is only available if the host supports TN 3270E enhanced protocol.

Note:

The LU name can contain up to 32 characters, must start with a letter, and cannot contain any spaces.

Add New LU name—Opens the Add New LU Name dialog box, which lets you specify or select an LU name to add to the list.

Edit LU name—Opens the Edit New LU Name dialog box, which lets you edit the selected LU name.

Delete LU name—Deletes the selected name.

Delete All LU names—Deletes all the names in the list.

Copy LU name—Copies the selected name to the clipboard.

Paste LU name—Pastes the copied name to the list.

Move Up LU name/Move Down LU name—Changes the position of the selected name. HostExplorer checks for the name at the top of the list first.

Express Logon Feature (ELF)—The Express Logon Feature lets a 3270 user play a macro that securely logs the user on to a host application without the transmission of a host user ID and password. The host session must be configured for SSL with client authentication in order to use the Express Logon Feature. For more information, see Automating Login Using the Express Logon Feature.

A sample Express Logon Macro for TSO (ExpressLogonTSO.ebs)is installed in your Macro folder. You may need to edit the macro and change the logon string for your application ID (APPLID).

Application ID—Enter the Application ID that the host server uses to identify the application. Ask your host system administrator for this ID.
