Setting virtual terminal logon options

Steps for setting options that are related to the method for obtaining a logon model node name for a specific IMS.


1. From the Edit IMSID Options panel, type 5 in the selection field and press Enter.

The IMSID Options – VT Logon Options panel is displayed.

The following fields are available on this panel:

IMSID

The IMSID of the options module that you selected.

This is not an editable field.

Method

The method that DELTA PLUS VIRTUAL TERMINAL uses to create node names from logon models.

Note

Model node names should never exist in the VTAM network. The model names that are specified in the IMSID options for terminals must not be inadvertently or specifically changed by executing a DELTA List. The mask name that is used for adding terminals must not resolve to a terminal that is used as a model.

  1. Defaults
    SLU2 logon model node nameThe name of a terminal that is present in the IMS Stage-1 system definition which DELTA PLUS VIRTUAL TERMINAL can use as a model control block for SLUTYPE2 devices. NONE indicates that there are no SLUTYPE2 devices in your network that will be used as virtual terminals.

    3270 logon model node nameThe name of a terminal that is present in the IMS Stage-1 system definition which DELTA PLUS VIRTUAL TERMINAL can use as a model control block for VTAM 3270 devices. NONE indicates that there are no VTAM 3270 devices in your network that will be used as virtual terminals.

    SLU1 logon model node nameThe name of a terminal that is present in the IMS Stage-1 system definition which DELTA PLUS VIRTUAL TERMINAL can use as a model control block for SLUTYPE1 devices. A blank value indicates that there are no SLUTYPE1 devices in your network that will be used as virtual terminals.

    SLUP logon model node nameThe name of a terminal that is present in the IMS Stage-1 system definition which DELTA PLUS VIRTUAL TERMINAL can use as a model control block for SLUTYPEP devices. A blank value indicates that there are no SLUTYPEP devices in your network that will be used as virtual terminals.

  2. TSS
    Indicates that the TSS table that is specified in the TSS table name field will be used to translate the VTAM terminal type and screen size into a logon model node name.

  3. User exitIndicates that a Logon Exit routine in module VTFEXIT n is to be called. This routine provides the name of the logon model.

    Unless the table name is hard-coded, the sample exit will use the TSS table name that is specified for Method option 2

2. Edit the fields as necessary and save the changes to the virtual terminal logon options.
