By default, BlueZone iSeries Display and Printer sessions use the TN5250/TN5250E connection type. This procedure describes how to configure a BlueZone iSeries Display or Printer session for this connection type.
By default, BlueZone is not configured for secure SSL or TLS encrypted sessions. In order to establish a Secure host connection, you will have to configure the security settings in BlueZone.
BlueZone has the capability to automatically create iSeries device names dynamically and retry the devices until the iSeries host determines that the requested device is not in use. BlueZone is configured to create the names based on %1, %2, and %3 values entered in the device name field.
To support double-byte character sets (DBCS), your Windows computer and BlueZone display session must be configured for one or more double-byte languages.
Starting with version 5.1, BlueZone has added bidirectional language support (BiDi) to the IBM 3270 and IBM iSeries emulators. Currently, the only BiDi language that is supported is Arabic.
Translate tables are used to translate data between the EBCDIC character set and the ASCII character set. EBCDIC is used on mainframe systems for character formatting whereas ASCII is used in the PC environment for character formation. When a character arrives from the host it is translated from EBCDIC to ASCII. When a character is sent to the host it is translated from ASCII to EBCDIC.
