- If specified, this specifies the only transaction that users can run from this terminal, apart from print and paging requests.
If a fixed transaction is not specified, users can run any transaction from this terminal.
- Priority
- Specify the priority for transactions run from this terminal. Defaults to 0 (zero). Terminal priority is one factor in determining
a transaction's execution priority, which is the sum of:
- Terminal priority (this field)
- Transaction priority
- Operator priority
Note: The sum cannot be greater than 255.
- In Service
- Check this to specify that this terminal is in service; that is, transactions can be initiated and messages sent.

issued from this terminal.
- Alternate Printer
- Specify the printer used for handling print requests if the printer specified in
Main Printer field is unavailable. This printer must be owned by the system that owns the terminal. The name can be up to four characters
in length.
- Alternate Print Copy
- Check this to specify that the hardware copy feature (using the alternate printer defined for this terminal) is to be used
for print requests issued from this terminal.
Terminal Security
- User ID
- Specify a user ID to be associated with the terminal. If the terminal definition includes a user ID, Enterprise Server honors
the terminal user ID, and you can leave the this field blank.CAUTION: When the user ID is specified in the terminal definition,
this logs you into the terminal without password verification.
- Language
- Choose the national language in which messages are sent over the connection.
- Security Name

is APPC. Can be up to eight alphanumeric characters from the set A through Z, 0 through 9, $, @ and #.

- Identify
- Incoming attach requests must specify a user ID.
- Verify
- Incoming attach requests must specify both a user ID and a password.
- Persistent
- The first attach request must specify both a user ID and a password, but subsequent attach requests require only a user ID.
- Mixed
- Incoming attach requests may specify either Identify or Persistent.
- Local
- The authority of the user is taken to be that of the link.
- Operator ID
- Specify an operator ID to be used for routing messages. Specify this for a terminal that cannot be signed on, such as a printer.
If you specify an operator ID for a terminal that can be signed on, it is overridden by the operator ID specified in the user's
sign-on table entry. Up to three alphanumeric characters.
- Operator Priority
- Specify the operator priority for transactions run from this terminal. Specify this for a terminal that cannot be signed on,
such as a printer. If you specify it for a terminal that can be signed on, it is overridden by the operator priority specified
in the user's sign-on table entry. This defaults to 0 (zero). Operator priority is one factor in determining a transaction's
execution priority, which is the sum of:
- Terminal priority
- Transaction priority
- Operator priority (this field)
The sum cannot be greater than 255.
