6. Click on

on the right side of the screen.

.
8. You should then be presented with an AS/400 sign-on display.
When the AS/400 sign-on display appears, it is inside a Macintosh Window. Along
the top of the window is a menu bar, where you see various options. Most of these
need not concern us. However, you should take note of the following:
Note: To end the session, select
Session
and then
Disconnect
from the menu bar.
Keyboard Mapping:
A function key can be selected either with the mouse or with
the keyboard. To select a function key with the mouse, use the
Keypad
option from
the menu bar. A default keypad is provided (Standard Keypad). Others can be
created as required that might include Autokeys for example. To display the current
keyboard map, select
Preferences
and then
Keyboard Map
from the menu bar. The
keyboard map can also be changed from the panel presented using a ’drag and
drop’ process.
Character Mapping:
The Apple Macintosh is an ASCII-based device. Because the
TN5250 data stream is EBCDIC-based, the Macintosh must do ASCII-to-EBCDIC
character translation. The translation table used is changed by selecting an
appropriate host language. To do this, select
Session
and then
Host Language
from
the menu bar. A list of the languages that are supported is presented from which a
language can be selected.

3270 Full-Screen Mode
3270 full-screen support allows Telnet client users to sign on and run AS/400 5250
full-screen applications even though 3270 full-screen support is negotiated. 3270
full-screen support is negotiated with any Telnet client application that supports
3270 full-screen applications rather than 5250 full-screen applications. An example
of a system that negotiates 3270 full-screen support is the System/390 family.
TN5250 delivers the data stream between the two systems as EBCDIC. Because
the 3270 data streams are translated into 5250 data streams, the workstation
devices operate as a remote 5251 display to the AS/400 system and application
programs.
Figure 120 on page 187 shows a network configuration using the AS/400 3270
Telnet server support.
