ID’, ‘VisaraNCT ID’, ‘Client+CC ID’). These client types will prompt the user for a User ID,
and if a valid User ID is given as found in the nickname.sys list, then the corresponding
password must be given to establish the connection. An example entry might appear like this:
Virgil-Bonita671
Notes:
1. No white space is permitted between the name, the equal sign, and the resource,
nor within the resource notation itself, except to permit the inclusion of a password.
2. Even though a Host ID may have been assigned to the Host Circuit, the only
notation that may be used in this definition can be the character representing the
Host Circuit.
3. The address portion of the notation is a two digit hex value, and is offset from 00,
regardless of what the actual addresses are, being used on the channel. (For example
if the address range of A0-A7 is being defined on the host, the SCON-3074 will
refer to the range as 00-07 when assigning resources.)
4. The resource listed can be the name of a 3270 Host Class.
5. Entries are separated by a CR/NL in the file. A blank line will be interpreted as the
end of the file.
6. At least one valid port must be defined for use on the TN3270 client definition
panel. LINCS will only listen on TCP ports defined on the TN3270 Client Definition
panel for connecting TN3270 clients.
7. The nickname file is not associated with any particular network adapter.
8. By including the line ‘sensitive=yes’ as the first line of the nickname file, the
remaining entries are treated as case sensitive.
