SNMP System Location
This 64-character field can be used to describe the physical location of the LINCS node, and
will be provided to an SNMP manager, if a proper request is received.
Valid characters are: alphanumeric, space, dollar, period, hyphen, and underscore. This
information is returned as part of the LINCS MIB.
SNMP System Contact
This 48-character field can be used to define the name of the individual who is the contact
person for this LINCS node. Valid characters are: alphanumeric, space, dollar, period, hyphen,
and underscore. This information is returned as part of the LINCS MIB.
SNMP System Name
This 48-character field can be used to define the administratively-assigned name for this
managed LINCS node. By convention, the System Name is the fully qualified domain name.
Valid characters are: alphanumeric, space, dollar, period, hyphen, and underscore. This
information is returned as part of the LINCS MIB.
TN3270E
Enable this option if TN3270E clients are to be used. You must enable this to support Visara
NCT and UCT clients as consoles using TN3270E. It is recommended that this option is
enabled unless you are using only standard TN3270 clients that do not support the connection
to a TN3270 Server that supports TN3270E negotiation.
ATTN and SYSREQ
These options apply to TN3270 clients only (not TN3270E). Configuring these options require
that the corresponding options on the TN3270 clients be configured to use the same TELNET
commands.
Keep Alive Method
Enabling one of the Keep Alive methods allows the 2XL to detect when a client disconnects.
This is recommended for most TN3270 environments, especially if any sessions are to use
pooled (non-specific) resources.
Keep Alive Timer
The Keep Alive Timer determines how often Keep Alive messages will be sent to the client,
and how soon the 2XL will recognize that a client is no longer communicating. The default
value of 5 minutes works well for most scenarios. It is strongly recommended that a Keep
Alive method be used.
