Starting a TACL Session Using the Outside View
Application
Starting a TACL Session Using the Outside 
View Application
Sometimes you need to start a TACL session on the host system to perform certain 
system actions, such as reloading a processor. Depending on whether you are logged 
on to the TSM Low-Level Link Application or the TSM Service Application, you might 
be prompted to type an IP address.
Starting a TACL From the TSM Service Application
To start a TACL terminal emulation session from the TSM Service Application:
1. From the File menu, choose Start Terminal Emulator>For TACL. An OutsideView 
window appears, and a TACL prompt is displayed.
2. If a TACL prompt does not appear in the OutsideView window, do the following:
a. From the OutsideView session menu, choose New. The New Session 
Properties dialog box appears.
b. On the Session tab, in the Session Caption box, type a session caption name, 
such as TACL.
c. Click IO Properties. The TCP/IP Properties dialog box appears.
d. In the Host name or IP address and port box, type the IP address that is 
currently configured for your primary service connection.
e. Click OK. The TCP/IP Properties dialog box is closed, and you are returned to 
the New Session Properties dialog box.
f. Click OK. The OutsideView window appears and a TACL prompt is displayed.
Starting a TACL From the TSM Low-Level Link Application
To start a TACL terminal emulation session from the TSM Low-Level Link Application:
1. From the File menu, choose Start Terminal Emulator>For TACL. The Winsock 
dialog box appears.
2. In the Enter Telnet IP Address box, type the IP address that is currently configured 
for your primary service connection.
Click OK. An OutsideView window appears, and a TACL prompt is displayed. 
Note. The supplied IP address is not saved in the OutsideView Communication settings 
(under the Settings menu). If you need to reconnect, use the procedure for the connection type 
shown earlier in this topic.
