Configure Connection Settings Dialog Box for 3270 Printer Sessions

How do I get to this dialog box?

Use the Session Setup dialog box to configure the connection to an IBM host for printer emulation sessions.

Note

You cannot configure the settings from this dialog box when you are connected to a host.

Connection

Option	Description
Host name or IP address	Identify the host to which you will connect. Type the host name, alias, or numeric IP address.
	Note: Both IPv4 addresses (in the form 127.0.0.1) and IPv6 addresses (in the form 2001:0db8:3c4d:0015:0000:0000:abcd:ef12) are accepted.
Port	Type the host port or socket number that the session should use. This field accepts any number between 0 and 66,535 (default = 23).
Use ID Management	This option is available if you are using a centralized management server with ID Manager installed. ID Manager configures and monitors a pool of resource IDs that a client can use to establish a host session, thereby eliminating the need for administrators to create configurations for every client. Depending on the type of terminal or printer, these resource IDs may represent addresses or identifiers as required.You can use ID Manager with the IBM3270 and IBM5250 terminals and printers.To use ID Manager, you'll need access to a centralized management server with ID Manager configured.
	Note: For detailed instructions that show how to set up ID Management, see "Set Up ID Management for Reflection Desktop Sessions" in the Reflection Deployment Guide.

Automatically connect to the host	Select to establish a host connection as soon as the printer session is started.
When connection is terminated	Select one of the following options to determine the how Reflection handles a terminated connection.
	Reconnect automatically attempts to reestablish the connection.
	Prompt for reconnection prompts whether to attempt to reestablish the connection. (When No is selected, the session is left open and disconnected.)
	Leave disconnected leaves the session disconnected with the session open.
	Close session automatically closes the session.

Option	Description
Connection type	Select Connect when the LU name to which you are connecting is the name of a particular printer device. Select Associate to associate the printer session to a terminal session using an association string.
Host LU name	When you connect as a 3287 printer, some hosts require a host LU name. The name can be up to 32 characters in length.
TN association	This option is available when Connection type is set to Associate. It displays a list of association strings you can configure using the Configure Advanced Connection Settings dialog box in a terminal session.
