Step 3. Create a session to a mainframe host

Use Manage Sessions to create the terminal sessions you want to deploy to end users. After the session is added, launch it and configure the settings.

Add a terminal session

  1. On the Manage Sessions panel, click +Add.

  2. Select your Product -- Reflection for the Web.

  3. Select the Session type. For this evaluation, select IBM 3270.

  4. Enter a unique Session name that does not exceed 64 characters, such as eval3270.

  5. Enter a Comment that you want to display regarding this session. Comments are internal notes for the administrator and can display in the summary list.

  6. If you want to evaluate the session’s Appearance, use of FTP, or the use of Advanced Settings, refer to the MSS product Help.

  7. Click Launch. The session opens in a separate window.

If you want to test the connection to the mainframe, enter the name of your host computer and click OK. Otherwise, click Cancel. You do not need to be connected to configure the session.

Now you are ready to configure the emulation settings for the end-users’ terminal session.
