SAS/CONNECT User's Guide

OS/2 Support

For SAS/CONNECT users on OS/2, the following topics will answer your questions about communications packages, the alarm that sounds when signing on, hardware and software requirements, and local area networks. These topics are covered in the following sections.

Alarm While Signing On

Question

Can you turn off the alarm that sounds when you are establishing a link with a 3270 connection?

Answer

Yes. Refer to the documentation for your communications package.

Local Area Networks

Question

For 3270 connections, does SAS/CONNECT work with local area networks?

Answer

If the 3270 network software is functional with your remote host, SAS/CONNECT works by means of the network. SAS/CONNECT communicates by using the EHLLAPI interface, which handles 3270 communications with the network.

Configuration for Token Ring Networks

Question

For 3270 connections, what configuration is required for SAS/CONNECT to support a Token Ring network?

Answer

SAS/CONNECT does not require any special configuration. The Token Ring network configuration requires a 3174 control unit or a 37x5 control unit directly on the Token Ring network to be able to emulate a 3270-type terminal that uses OS/2 on a Token Ring network.
