Connects you to a remote IBM host over a TCP/IP connection, causing the local keyboard to emulate an IBM 3279-class terminal keyboard by invoking the TN3270 terminal emulator.

Format

Parameters

IPhostname

Specifies the IP host name of the remote host.

IPaddress

Specifies an IP address of the remote host.

Description

The SET HOST/TN3270 command allows you to connect with a TELNET server on a remote IBM system by invoking the TN3270 terminal emulator TELNET client program on the local host. The parameter that specifies the remote host is either an IP host name or an IP address. The TN3270 client will automatically determine the terminal type (IBM-3278-2, IBM-3278-3, IBM-3278-4, or IBM-32798-5).

Qualifiers

/AUTHENTICATE

Specifies that Kerberos authentication should be used for acquiring access to the remote node.

/PORT=port

Specifies the remote TCP port to use. The default is 23.

/TERMINAL_TYPE

Sets the terminal emulator to one of the following terminal types: VT100, VT200, VT300, VT400, VT500.

Example

$ SET HOST/TN3270 remotehst3
      

This example creates a connection to a TELNET server on the remote IBM system remotehst3 over a TCP/IP connection.
