Connecting to the Host System - Mainframe

Establishing a Host Session

Assuming Session Configuration has already been completed, you are now ready to establish a session on the host system.  This section applies to both the Mainframe Display and Printer emulators.

To Establish a Host Session

From the BlueZone MenuBar select Session:Connect or press the Connect icon located on the BlueZone MenuBar.

When connecting to the host, the Session Status Indicator field on the StatusBar will initially display “Connecting...” and will change to “Connected” once the connection is complete.

For your convenience, the Session:Connect menu item will then change to Session:Disconnect and the Connect icon on the BlueZone MenuBar will become a Disconnect icon.

The Bound Time Indicator field will then begin displaying the elapsed session bound connection time.

To Disconnect the Host Session

From the BlueZone MenuBar select Session:Disconnect or press the Disconnect icon on the BlueZone MenuBar.

When disconnecting the Session Status Indicator field on the StatusBar will initially display “Disconnecting...” and will then change to “Disconnected” once the disconnection is complete.
