Extended Terminal Option
The Extended Terminal Option (ETO) is a function of IMS TM that can be included at system definition.
With ETO:
- You can add VTAM® terminals to IMS without redefining the system.
- You can dynamically add user LTERMs and remote LTERMs (for MSC links) to IMS.
- You cannot define the master terminal using ETO.
- You cannot use the XRF surveillance link with ETO.
