Configuring a Session Management (TD/SMP) Terminal
Logging In with Multisessions
The following is a typical procedure for logging in at a session management terminal
with MULTISESSIONS enabled at the access server port:
In local mode, you can enter access server commands at the access server prompt. (The
Local Mode Command Restrictions During Session Management table lists command
restrictions that apply to session management terminals.) If you enter LOCAL as a
service name for a terminal session, the access server places the port in local mode.
Step Action
1
Press the Return key once or twice to obtain the introductory banner and
username prompt. After the user optionally enters a user name, the
access server invokes session management, and the terminal prompts
the user for a network resource name. The access server then uses that
name to create a session for the terminal session. If a preferred service
is defined and AUTOCONNECT is enabled, the access server starts a
session with the preferred service. If you do not enter a network resource
name for a terminal session, the access server places the port in local
mode.
2
Request additional terminal sessions (and associated sessions) by
entering a terminal command. The terminal prompts the user again for a
network resource name for each terminal session. The access server
creates a session for each terminal session.
3
Switch among your terminal sessions by using a switch session key on
the terminal keyboard.
