Note:
It is recommended that you select auto-reconnect. However, understand that the drop session
option for configuring an OSA-ICC will not work as expected. The auto-reconnect option will
automatically reconnect your session after you drop it. For more information on the drop session
option, see Drop session.
z/OS Master Console input/output console session, with the DHD
option enabled:
Must have the auto-reconnect function enabled.
Must have a unique LU name to ensure session auto-reconnection
and MSC console recovery occurs correctly. See “LU Name”
in Display client connections.
If you wish, use the Session Parameters option
in Customize Communication to set a screen size other than 24 by 80.
It is recommended that your screen size matches the operating system
screen size.
For z/OS:
Display type 3277 model 2 has a screen size of 24 rows by 80 columns.
Display type 3277 model 3 has a screen size of 32 rows by 80 columns.
See your VTAM definitions for z/OS and your Operating
System console definitions for more details.
Clicking OK on
the Customize Configuration window causes PCOMM to initiate the connection
to the host.
If the host session is ready for communication, the screen displayed shows your connection
information for this session. For example: Figure 3. E - Capture — [24x80]

shows the defined server address and port number.
Line 2: session

address for this device; LU name.
Line 3: information for
the connected processor.
Machine Type: Machine specific
Mfg Info: set to IBM
SN: Serial Number
CHPID: Chpid Number
Status: Active or Inactive – Active denotes LPAR has been activated for this
defined connection and is ready to be enabled by the Host Operating System
Important Note: When using IBM eNetwork Personal Communications (PCOMM) for client TN3270E
display sessions, the following statement must be present in the PCOMM profile files (xxx.WS) to
ensure that printer WCC controls are ignored if sent by the host:
[LT]
IgnoreWCCStartPrint=Y
UndefinedCode=Y
If these statements are not present
in your PCOMM profile files you will have to edit the xxx.WS files
on your client PC with a PC text editor to add the statement lines.
