I have not seen a 3290 in years, but I think the next few ports in the 3174 become dead ports. So if you are defining 4 sessions the next three ports to the one you plug in the coax in the 3174 become dead. You still need the VTAM/LU stuff defined. I think. Like I said I have not seen a 3290 or a 3174 in years.

But this got me thinking, and I may be misunderstanding something about the 3174 and its handling of multiple sessions. What I've done is configured MLT (Multiple Logical Terminal) support on the 3174, which works well on the other terminals; I can switch back and forth between four independent sessions on the same terminal. Only one coax port on the 3174 is used for this. I had assumed that this is how the 3290 handles multiple sessions. Your suggestion of allocating a total of four ports on the 3174 for the 3290 got me thinking that perhaps it does this a different way; do you mean allocating four actual physical coax ports on the 3174 for the 3290? -Dave On 04/28/2017 01:48 PM, Feller, Paul wrote: > If I remember correctly if you plan on doing multiple screens on the > 3290 you also have to setup the 3174 to handle it.
