DO YOU HAVE A PRINTER ATTACHED TO THIS TERMINAL? (1=YES 0=N0)? ======>
If you are using a terminal with an attached printer, and you want to let the 3174
manage the attached printer as a separate device on the same line, type 1.
Otherwise, type 0.
At this point, you are normally connected to either an IBM or ASCII host
application. You can use your ASCII terminal to act like a 3270 terminal, or to
connect to the ASCII host through the 3174. Otherwise, the Connection Menu Is
displayed and you can request a different host connection.
You can connect to a host by doing the following:
1. Type the number or name of the host to which you want to connect from the
Connection Menu.
When you see READY on the screen, you are normally connected to the ASCII
host.
2. You may have to dial the host manually by typing the dial number. (Consult
your system administrator for the dial number.)
Using the Connection Menu
You can use the Connection Menu (see Figure 3-1) to request a different host
session or to check the host status. The Connection Menu contains a list of all
possible host destinations and provides Information you need to connect to a host.
If you are authorized, you can select a host destination from this menu.
