Automatically generating LU and device names

BlueZone supports several options for automatically generating LU/device names. The main advantage of automatic LU/device naming is that you can support a large number of users with one common BlueZone configuration, yet each user will get their own unique LU/device name.

Configuration method: BlueZone emulation client configuration

Feature scope: Session-level feature

Create a new BlueZone emulation client session or use the Wizard to launch an existing BlueZone session.

From the BlueZone menu bar, click Session → Configure.

The Session Configuration dialog displays.

Click Configure.

The Telnet Properties dialog displays.

Highlight the session you want to configure and click Edit.

The Edit Connection dialog displays.

In the LU Name field, type the desired substitution text values.

For example, you can type: %1%2%3

Note

If this were an iSeries session, the field is named Device Name.

If the computer name is WS1234, the above substitution text values result in an LU name of WS1234D00 being sent to the host. If an LU with that name already exists, BlueZone increments to the next number resulting in WS1234D01 being sent to the host. If an LU with that name already exists, BlueZone keeps trying until it finds an LU that is not in use.

Refer to the following Automatic LU/device naming guide for a detailed explain how to choose the proper substitution text values to place in the LU Name or Device Name field.
