Personal Communications Program Icons

When you have installed Personal Communications, the main functions that you can use are displayed as icons. Icons are grouped in subfolders of the IBM Personal Communications program folder.

A brief explanation of each function follows:

Start or Configure Sessions
Use this icon to bring up the Session Manager. This dialog allows you to start or configure sessions. During configuration, you can specify the session type, screen size, LU number, graphics support, the type of communication link and its parameters, as well as other information. You can save all this information in a workstation profile. After saving, you can start the session by just clicking the session icon. Authorized users can also create new batch files from this dialog
Figure wmcfgseso missing
Start or Configure Sessions Online
Use this icon to bring up the Session Manager Online. This dialog allows you to manage and use the online sessions available on HACP Server. This provides option for auto install of Personal Communications available on HACP Server.
Figure wmsnacf missing
SNA Node Configuration (32-bit only)
Use this icon to configure an SNA node and associated resources or to change advanced configuration parameters. Although most emulator sessions can be configured without the use of this utility, you will need to create an SNA node configuration to enable client/server and peer communication. This can also be run from an active session by selecting Actions → Launch → SNA Node Configuration.
