LINCS Configuration
707112-001
Support Wollongong Pathway TN3270 Client
Enabling this RPQ allows LINCS to handle special packet sequencing idiosyncrasies of the
Wollongong Pathway product.
Enhanced Supervisor Password Protection
If this option has been enabled, the Supervisor Password will not be displayed during the
configuration of the unit. Normally, the Supervisor Password is displayed during the
configuration process, when viewing the General Options panel.
Ignore all LU requests from TN3270 clients
The normal value for this option (‘Disabled’), results in LINCS attempt to honor any request
for a specific host, address combination from the TN3270 client at connection time, as long
as the format of the request is valid. This attempt overrides what has been configured for that
device.
Enabling this option will cause LINCS to ignore all such requests from the clients and only
permit what has been configured to be assigned.
Maximize TN3287 response timer
This RPQ increases by ten-fold the amount of time allowed a TN3287 printer to indicate that
it has completed the print job. This was created to allow more time for someone to correct a
paper out condition on printers that are not monitored very closely.
TN3270 clients MUST specify an LUNAME
Only clients that negotiate an LUNAME, are allowed to connect, and only if there is a LINCS
entry corresponding to that.
Ignore ICMP Redirect
When enabled, the internal routing table will not cache ICMP Redirect requests. This will
cause LINCS to attempt to send packets through the configured default router each time.
Assume all TN3270 clients support extended attributes
When enabled, LINCS will assume that the device supports Extended Attributes (such as
IBM 3278-2E device type) even if the client negotiates a device type that implies that it does
not support them (such as IBM 3278-2 device type). This is to accommodate some emulators
that negotiate that they do not support Extended Attributes, but they really do.
Immediately Disconnect NonSNA Client
When enabled, LINCS sends to the host an Attention - Unit Check, when a client indicates
power down. Normally LINCS sends the Attention, and when the host attempts to select the
device, LINCS responds with Unit Check. This was required for some clients because the
console function does not roll soon enough.
