LU Connect Name
This specifies the name of the device which the server will be requested to assign to the Telnet
session.
You can return the local host name by entering %s after the device name. To return the user
name, enter %u after the device name. You can specify how many characters of the name is
returned in each case. For example, %.3s will return the first three characters of the local host
name, and %-.3s will return the last three characters.
To automatically assign a new device name for each successive connection, either enter %dN%
after the name, where N is a decimal value, or %xN%, where N is a hexadecimal value. Each
time the host requests the device name a counter will be substituted into the device name. If the
host rejects the device name as in use the counter will be incremented modulus N and the name
retried until all possibilities have been tried, at which point the emulation will report a device
name rejected error.
For example, TEST%d4% will give TEST1 on all connections until the host rejects the name as in
use, in which case TEST2 will be used. If this is already in use then TEST3 is used, or if already in
use then TEST0. These values are preserved over power off, so the first connection of any given
power on may not be TEST1. Assume that the start point is random.
When you achieve a TN3270E connection, the LU device name that you are connected as will be
displayed on the status line. If the specified device is rejected by the server or host, then an error
message box will be displayed indicating the reason.
