Table 1-1 displays a list of choices for that function.
If you connect to a TN5250 server using a definition that contains an IP
address, the emulator will open up an initial TN5250 session (emulator-
opened session) using that IP address. That session will be placed in the
Sessions list in the Sessions menu, as the initial open session (see Chapter 2,
"The Menu System," for more information).
If you try to connect to a server using a definition that does not contain an IP
address, you will not connect. Instead, the emulator will display the TN5250
menu system, allowing you to create a session (user-opened session). Once a
session is created, you can then connect and run your session.
A session must be opened to use TN5250 terminal emulation. This section
discusses both emulator-opened sessions and user-opened sessions.
