NOTE: The tn3270 command is available only if the option_key
parameter is set to the correct value. Each Model 5390 server requires
a unique value. Depending on what you requested when you purchased
your Model 5390 server, this value may be affixed to the bottom of your
Model 5390 server. If it is not, you must obtain a valid value from your
supplier. You will be asked for your Model 5390 Ethernet address,
which is taped to the back of the unit. When requesting a tn3270
option_key value from your supplier, be sure to mention any of the other
option_key features currently enabled for your Model 5390 server. To
check the status of the options enabled for your Model 5390 server,
issue the CLI stats -o command.
