Overview—Session Profiles

To connect to a host, you must use a session profile. You can create profiles, or you can use default session profiles (provided with the HostExplorer product). A session profile contains default settings that control session appearance and functionality, as well as information needed to connect to a host (such as host domain name or IP address and host terminal type). You can customize the default settings before or after connecting to a host.

When you open HostExplorer, all session profiles are displayed in the Open Session dialog box. If you attempt to connect to a host using a default session profile (for example, Default 3270) you are prompted to supply the host address before you can connect.
