Type

Select the type of printer session you want. The options on this dialog box (and the Help topic) change if you modify this setting.

Model ID

Select the printer model to emulate.

Type

5250 printer sessions use Telnet.

Enter Host (or System) Name or IP Address

Identify the host to which you will connect. Type the host name, alias, or numeric IP address.

Note: Both IPv4 addresses (in the form 127.0.0.1) and IPv6 addresses (in the form 2001:0db8:3c4d:0015:0000:0000:abcd:ef12) are accepted.

Port

Type the host port or socket number that the session should use. This field accepts any number between 0 and 66,535 (default = 23).

Device name

Specify the terminal device name (also called the display name or the workstation ID) that the AS/400 should use for your session. If you leave this box blank, the AS/400 creates a device to use for your session.

The device name can be up to ten characters long. You can include any of the following characters as part of the value in the Device name box.

Character

Usage

*

Replaced by A, B, C, and so on to create a unique device name. If the entire alphabet is used, the generated device names continue with AA, AB, AC, and so on.

%

Replaced by P for printer sessions and S for display sessions.

=

Replaced by 1,2, 3, and so on to create a unique device name.

&COMPN

Replaced by the local workstation name, left-trimmed, if the generated name exceeds 10 characters.

&USERN

Replaced by the local user name, left-trimmed, if the generated name exceeds 10 characters.

+

Specifies right-trimming instead of left-trimming. Use with &COMPN or &USERN. This character can be placed anywhere in the string.

Notes:

• You can use only one string in combination with these characters. If you use separated strings, the second string is dropped. For example, %MyDevice= is valid. However, %My=Device is not valid, and will be treated by the system as if it were &My=.
• You cannot use both &COMPN and &USERN in the same string.
• To have Reflection generate unique device names automatically based on the special characters described above, the Generate Device Names setting must be enabled. In printer sessions, this setting is off by default. To enable it, see the Generate Device Names topic.

Advanced

Configure advanced Telnet settings.

Auto connect

Select to establish a host connection as soon as the printer session is started.

Initialize

Create and initialize printer devices on your AS/400 host.

Security

Secure data communications with SOCKS or SSL/TLS.
