Section 6 - MAINCON Driver Configuration
Device Configuration
In many cases pcMAINFRAME and Across the Boards have defaults which allow the use of a communications
device without any further configuration. For devices requiring configuration (for example, protocol converters,
cfDFT, or LU 6.2 devices), or if the defaults are inappropriate for your configuration, the program MAINCON
is used to create the appropriate configuration files. In addition, MAINCON can be used to configure display,
keyboard and trouble-shooting options.
MAINCON Quick Notes
The following notes describe some of the most common configuration requirements. The configuration panels
referenced below are more fully documented in the following section. Many of the configuration panels
referenced below have additional options, but these can be ignored in most instances.
1.
Most emulators supporting a HLLAPI (sometimes called EHLLAPI or EEHLLAPI) do not require
any configuration other than the specification of the correct host session and device in the
pcMAINFRAME set-up file.
2.
For IBM 3278/79, IBM 3270 connection cards and compatibles (B1), as well as IRMA cards and
compatibles (B2), the defaults are usually correct, except in the case of Micro channel machines,
where IBM 3270 connection cards frequently default to RAM address DE00. For IBM cards, the
memory range (usually CE00-CFFF) may have to be excluded from an installed memory manager
(EMM386, QEMM, etc.).
3.
Protocol Converter, cfDFT and LU6.2 devices always require configuration.
4.
In DOS, if a COMM port other than COM1 or COM2 is used, or a network modem server is in
use, Communication Port Assignments (D1) must be used to define the port to use.
5.
TCP/IP Telnet TN3270 drivers (E1) do not require configuration, but almost all installations will
want to set the 3270 Terminal Model to "2E" so that structured fields can be used for enhanced
performance.
6.
The Video Mode/Keyboard configuration panel (A1) may be used to re-map the 3270 keyboard.
7.
Users with 3270 emulators or 3174s configured for languages other than U.S. English will need to
set the Controller Language on the Video Mode/Keyboard configuration panel (A1). Using
