Relocation Of A Work Station; Customizing The Wark Station - IBM 3270 G Manual

Problems that may occur during setup are dealt with in another chapter of
the same manual. Instructions are also given for the attachment of
optional devices, and for the testing of the complete work station. The
optional devices are supplied with their own setup instructions.
Note: You will need a medium flat-blade screwdriver to connect some of
the cables when you set up the work station.
Relocation of a Work Station
The work station can be relocated by your personnel with a minimum of
inconvenience. Instructions for relocation are given in the Guide to
Operations manual.
Customizing the Work Station
Customizing the 3270-PC work station requires you to define the hardware
and software configuration. If the work station is to be attached to an IBM
3274 Control Unit, you must also specify the parameters that match the
configuration of the 3274. The diskettes supplied with your work station
contain the programs that allow you to operate in a variety of 3274
hardware configurations. The customization program (also on the
diskettes) copies the appropriate files from the Graphics Control Program
diskettes onto a blank diskette (or fixed disk if you prefer), which becomes
your personal system diskette (or disk).
Note: You must supply the necessary blank diskettes.
You do not have to run the customization program on the work station for
which the system diskette is intended. You can run it on any member of
the 3270 PC family, or on an IBM Personal Computer.
If you already have a system diskette, you can use it as a starting point for
recustomization, in exactly the same way that you would use the Graphics
Control Program diskettes. The panels display your previous selections.
You need respond only to questions where a change is needed.
The customization program displays a series of panels on the screen of the
work station. These panels contain lists of options, most of which have
default values assigned to them. You can change the values of these
options to meet your own requirements. Other options require a value to be
given. Full instructions on customization are given in IBM 3270 Personal
Computer: Graphics Control Program; User's Guide.
Guidance for customizing the 3274 is given in Appendix A.
