Display session configuration

Prior to establishing a host system connection, BlueZone users must set session configuration parameters. A session configuration consists of:

  • Selecting a connection type and configuring its connection settings.
  • Selecting a language and configuring the emulation settings.

BlueZone can connect to the mainframe host system in the following ways: Microsoft Host Integration Server, or TN3270/TN3270E. TN3270/TN3270E is the most prevalent type of connection. TN3270E supports both display and printer data streams.

From the BlueZone menu bar, click Session → Configure. The Session Configuration dialog opens. It contains the Connection, 3270 Emulation, Spell Checking, Auto Complete, and License Server tabs.
