Microsoft SNA Server

Configuring the Microsoft SNA Server (now called Microsoft Host Integration Server) connection consists of selecting a Logical Unit (LU) or LU Pool Name for BlueZone to use when initiating connections with the host system. The LU / Pool Names are listed and maintained on the SNA Server and are displayed by BlueZone in the SNA Server property page.

From the BlueZone menu bar, click Session Configure , select Microsoft SNA Server from the Connection Type list box then click Properties.

Note: The Microsoft SNA Server Client or Host Integration Server Client software must be installed on the end users workstation in order for BlueZone to operate.
