iSeries, eServer i5, or System i5 VT Asynchronous Attachment Example
The following sample is a typical configuration on the iSeries, eServer™ i5,
or System i5® for a VT asynchronous dialed connection
through an ASCII Workstation Controller. For more details on iSeries, eServer i5,
or System i5 for VT asynchronous attachments, refer
to AS/400 ASCII Workstation
Reference.
- Enter the following command on the command line of the iSeries, eServer i5,
or System i5 main menu:
CRTDEVDSPThe Create Device Description panel appears, in a first and second screen, as shown for the configuration of a VT100 device in the following screens. When filling in the panel, make sure that the name of the attached controller (arbitrarily shown as CTL05 here) matches the name of the twinaxial controller configured on your iSeries, eServer i5, or System i5.Create Device Desc (Display) (CRTDEVDSP) Type choices, press Enter.

Use the same command, CRTDEVDSP, on the command line of the iSeries, eServer i5, or System i5 main menu. Again, the same kind of panels appear. You must make sure that the name of the attached controller matches the name of the twinaxial controller configured on your iSeries, eServer i5, or System i5.
