Chapter 3. Configuring a desktop machine 25

3.3 3270 emulators

To access a logon session with z/VM, it is common to use a 3270 emulator that runs on

Windows. Many commercial products are available. Some of the more common ones are:

򐂰 Attachmate Extra!

򐂰 Hummingbird Host Explorer

򐂰 IBM Personal Communications

򐂰 Quick3270

It is beyond the scope of this book to explain the details of configuring all the various

emulators. However, it is recommended that you investigate the following settings for your

emulator:

򐂰 Set the Enter and Clear function keys to be where you would expect them. On some

emulators, the default Enter key action is set to the right Ctrl key of modern keyboards.

Likewise the Clear key action is sometimes set to the Esc key in the upper left corner of

modern keyboards or the Pause key in the upper right.

򐂰 Set a larger window. Often the default number of lines in an emulator session is 24. You

will probably be more productive with a 32, 43 or more lines if they can easily fit in a

window given your desktop display size and resolution.

򐂰 Have the session automatically reconnect after logoff. Having a new logon window come

back immediately after you log off can also save you time in the long run. This is often not

the default behavior.

򐂰 Save your connection sessions. Rather than continually typing in the IP address or DNS

name of the z/VM system to which you want to connect, spend a few minutes to define

and save a session for each system to which you may connect, as was described for

PuTTY. Then you can usually double-click the saved connection to quickly access a new

3270 session.
