Display session configuration

Prior to establishing an iSeries host system connection, Rocket TE users must set Session Configuration parameters. A Session configuration consists of selecting:

  • Selecting a connection type and configuring its connection settings.
  • Selecting a language and configuring the emulation settings.

Rocket TE can connect to an iSeries host system in one of two ways: Renex Async Protocol or TN5250/TN5250E . TN5250/TN5250E is by far the most prevalent type of connection. TN5250E supports both display and printer data streams.

From the Rocket TE menu bar, click Session → Configure. The Session Configuration window opens. It contains the Connection, 5250 Emulation, Spell Checking, Auto Complete, and License Server tabs.
