Telnet Device Types

TN3270
Based on the Screen Size and Extended Attributes settings, PASSPORT generates the following TN3270 device types when negotiating a TN3270 session with the TN3270 server. These device types must be configured on the TN3270 session in order to make a connection.

• IBM-3278-2 model 2, no extended attributes

• IBM-3278-3 model 3, no extended attributes

• IBM-3278-4 model 4, no extended attributes

• IBM-3278-5 model 5, no extended attributes

• IBM-3278-2-E model 2, extended attributes

• IBM-3278-3-E model 3, extended attributes

• IBM-3278-4-E model 4, extended attributes

• IBM-3278-5-E model 5, extended attributes 

• IBM-DYNAMIC for dynamic screen size

TN5250
PASSPORT generates the following TN5250 device types based on the screen size configured.

• IBM-3179-2 model 2 screen size

• IBM-3477-FC model 5 screen size 

VT, SCO ANSI and WYSE-60
PASSPORT generates the following device types:

• VT52  for VT52 emulation

• VT100  for VT100 emulation

• VT420  for VT420 emulation (7-bit and 8-bit)

• ANSI for SCO ANSI (7-bit and 8-bit)
   

• WYSE-60

Note: If theTN3270E, TN5250E, VT, SCO ANSI or Wyse host does not accept any of these standard Telnet device types, you must find out the correct device type string to use from your system administrator and type it into the Telnet Device Type Override field in this dialog box. For example, some older non-compliant TN3270E servers may require IBM-3279-5-E instead of the standard IBM-3278-5-E device type string. Or, some VT hosts may require DEC-VT100 instead of the standard VT100 device type. You can use the Communication>Connection Log menu command and view the connection log to tell if your device type is being rejected by your host system.
