The
VMjPC
System
After you start the
VM/PC
application, you have the option
of selecting the type of connection that meets your
processing needs. You can:
• Connect to a remote computer as a 3277 or a 3101
terminal. This computer does not have
to
be located in
your immediate area. This type of connection
is
called a
'remote' session, or
Connect to the local computer in the IBM Personal
Computer
XT/370
and run the local
VM/PC
system.
This type of connection is called a 'local' session,
or
Connect to a remote computer and the local computer at
the same time and maintain 'concurrent' remote and
local sessions.
The concurrent session selection allows you:
To maintain up
to
three separate and distinct
sessions, that is, a local
VM/PC
session and two
remote sessions with any computer system that
supports 3277 or
3101 data streams, or
To combine the local and remote 3277 sessions into
a single processing environment and allow data
sharing between your IBM Personal Computer
XT
/370
and your remote computer. In this case,
only the 3277 communication facilities can
be
used.
The remote system must
be
an IBM
VM/370
Basic
System Extensions Program Release 2 or
VM/SP
level system on which the Remote Server Program
has been installed. This installation process
is
described in Chapter 6,
"Remote
Services" on page
6-1.
The selection of these options
is
described in Chapter
4,
"Getting Started" on page 4-1.
