Selects the default screen size of the emulated device to use when one is not specified by the host system:
  • Model 2 (24x80): Selects a model 2 device with 24 rows and 80 columns.
  • Model 3 (32x80): Selects a model 3 device with 32 rows and 80 columns.
  • Model 4 (43x80): Selects a model 4 device with 43 rows and 80 columns.

Override 3270 Emulation Model Type
Allows the Device Model specified here to override the Default Screen Model Type specified in the 3270 Emulation parameters. This is normally desirable unless the TN3270 server requires a terminal type model specification which differs from the model type configured in the host LU.
