Use this panel to assign LUs to either default generic pools or default specific pools. When printer clients connect to the TN3270 server, each client must be assigned to a VTAM LU. This LU will be activated and used for SNA connectivity to the SNA application.
TN3270 server uses VTAM application LUs to represent clients. The TN3270 server activates one SNA application minor node LU to represent each Telnet IP client. These Telnet application LUs establish sessions with VTAM host applications (for example, CICS).
When a printer client connects, the TN3270 server searches for a client identifier that matches this client connection. If no match is found, then the server will use the default printer pools to assign an LU for the client's use.
The client's workstation can be configured to assign the TN3270 client to a specific LU when the connection is established. By default, clients are not defined to use a specific LU. Clients that do NOT specify assignment to a specific LU will be assigned an LU from the Default generic pool. Client's that DO specify assignment to a specific LU will be assigned that LU if it is defined in the Default specific pool.
You may also specify an application that printer clients should be connected to if the client is assigned one of the LUs from the default printer pools. Typically a printer client connects to the TN3270 server and then waits for the application to initiate the session to the client. However, you can specify the application and TN3270 server will connect the client directly to the application.
Before you begin, decide which printer pools you want to manipulate and which actions you want to perform on them.
Steps
You have completed this panel after you have added, edited or removed LUs to and from the default generic or default specific pools, and specified the application name for printer clients. You are not required to use the default printer pools at all.
