Connecting to the Host

Host Access for the Cloud supports IBM 3270, 5250 and VT hosts as well as UTS, T27 and ALC host types.

To connect to the host:

  1. From the Type drop down list, select the type of host you are connecting to.

  2. Identify the host to which you want to connect. You can use a full host name or its IP address.

  3. Type the number of the port you want to use.

  4. Complete the information needed for the host connection.

  5. Save your connection settings.

Your users gain access to the host through sessions that you create and configure. Sessions are created by an administrator in the MSS Administrative Console. When you launch a session from the Administrative Console, the web client Connection panel opens in a separate browser window. You configure connection options from this panel. Options vary depending on your host type.
