TCP/IP Configuration Input Worksheet

The TCP/IP customization panels collect information to build a simple configuration based on values you provide. Ouput consists of PROFILE.TCPIP, TCPIP.DATA, PORTS, an omproute.conf file (if applicable), and a TN3270 file (if applicable). Use this worksheet in preparation for filling in data on the customization panels. The numbers in parentheses indicate the maximum field length; asterisks indicate the required fields.
