INTRODUCTION
Relationship With Other Subsystems
RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHER SUBSYSTEMS
The AM3270 subsystem is closely related to the TR3271 subsystem.
The two subsystems can be linked by connecting an AM3270
subdevice with a TR3271 subdevice. When linked in this way,
data from AM3270 terminals can be passed to the host through
TR3271, and data from the host can be passed to the AM3270
terminals through AM3270 without the necessity for an intervening
application program.
The PATHWAY subsystem can also use the AM3270 subsystem. The
PATHWAY subsystem can open AM3270 terminals for use by PATHWAY
applications.
You can selectively switch an AM3270 terminal between the control
of a PATHWAY application and the control of TR3271 connected to
an IBM host. Of course, there must be communication between
the PATHWAY application and the user application associated with
TR3271 to determine which is the controlling application.
