Configuring a Second Link of a Different Kind

The procedure for configuring other links is similar to those for the configurations for 3270 and 5250 link configurations. This procedure applies whether you are going to configure two (or more) links that use the same connection type, or links that use different connection types. In this example, assume that you have already configured a 3270 connection and now want to add a 5250 connection. As before, you can make the configuration even if the first link is active.
  1. Double-click the Start or Configure Sessions icon to start a new session; or click Configure from the Communication menu.
  2. Choose iSeries™, the LAN interface and the IEEE 802.2 attachment type.
  3. Configure the session parameters, then click Configure Link.
  4. In the Configure Local System panel, check that the default .ACG file is the one in which you saved the configuration for the 3270 link. If not, click Existing and choose the correct file from the list. Notice that the PC Location Name is already there. Click Next.
  5. The Configure Logical Connection panel appears. Enter the System Location Name and click Next.
  6. Notice that the Link Station Name has changed. Enter the Destination Address of the iSeries™, eServer™ i5, or System i5™. Click Next, then Finish, and save the .ACG file (replace the existing file); then click OK until you return to the session window.
