Configuring Mainframe or iSeries Display sessions

Start a BlueZone Mainframe or iSeries Display session from Session Manager or from the desktop icon.
A window displays prompting you for a profile name.
Note: If this is the first time you are starting a BlueZone session, the above window does not open. Instead, a BlueZone session starts and the Define New Connection window opens.
In the File name field, type in the desired name and click Save. BlueZone automatically assigns the correct file extension for the session type.
A message opens asking you if you want to create the file. Click Yes.
The session starts and the Define New Connection window opens.
Enter the host information:
1. In the Connection Name field, type any name for the session.
2. In the Host Address field, type the IP address or DNS name.
3. In the TCP Port field, type the port number.
All of the other fields are optional.
Click OK twice to return to the BlueZone Display Emulation screen.
From the BlueZone Display menu bar, click Session → Connect.
You are now connected to your host. Ready displays on the BlueZone status bar.

Additional configuration

You can also control the behavior of the host session that you just created. For example, you can control many aspects of the host session like auto-connecting and prompting on disconnect.

From the BlueZone Mainframe Display menu bar, click Session → Configure.
From this window you can select the Auto-Connect Session, Auto-Reconnect Session, if the session was deactivated by the host, Prompt on Disconnect, Auto-Close Session on Disconnect, and/or Connect Retry check boxes.

There are additional configuration options that can be configured in this window. For additional information on session configuration, refer to the BlueZone Display and Printer User’s Guide.
