Configuring the 3270 host connection

Use this procedure to configure the 3270 host connection when Blueworx Voice Response includes the 3270 option.

When the 3270 option is included, the default mode is real mode. If desired, you can change this to virtual mode during the configuration procedure. The 3270 parameters are not dynamic. After you have assigned values to these parameters, you must stop Blueworx Voice Response and start it again before the new values take effect.

To complete this procedure, you work with parameters in the Application Server Interface parameter group. If a default value is suitable, you do not have to change it. Application server interface parameter group lists the default values for the parameters in this group.
