WEA Level 2 Emulation, Access,
and GUI Clients
This web page contains instructions for several types of software and
associated methodology for using terminal emulation to connect to other
systems.
Accessing Miscellaneous Software For Installation
1) Connect as network drive "pvcsvr" machine
(i.e. from DOS Command prompt "net use *
\\pvcsvr\software /u:wpsadmin"). You will be prompted
for password.
Other software is on "mpfa" (i.e from DOS Command prompt "net use
* \\mpfa\C$ /u:Administrator"
(Note that with the normal IBM W2k installation you might be queried by
"ConfigSafe" to create a snapshot of
your system before installing any new software, do this at your
own discretion)

Mainframe Access Software
Download
(Steve, check this!)
To load the Personal Communications Software from the IBM Standard
Software installer web page connect to url
http://w3-1.ibm.com/download/standardsoftware/index.html and select a
location (North America). In the bar at the top
of this page select "Windows NT". In the "WINDOWS NT PRODUCT
CATALOG" web page select "All Applications", then select "IBM Personal
Communications v4.3.1.1". Select the drive you wish the software
to be installed on and click "Install Now"”. In the next pop-up,
select "Save to disk", and use the default path. After the installation
you will probably have to restart your computer.
Creating a
Session Macro
You can create macros to execute the normal sequence of commands for
a particular mainframe session. This is done by using the "Record"
mechanism within the Personal Communication System (PCS).
After you have successfully displayed the "Session" panel with the
"IBM Global Services / South Service Center" session (or at any point
after that) click the "Record" button at the top of the session window.
You will be prompted for a filename for your macro. Once you have
selected a filename you are in the record mode. Go through the sequence
of commands you wish to record (i.e.go through the set of Retain
commands required to get you to the "read" section of a session), then
click the "Stop" button at the top of your PCS session window.
From then on you should be able doubleclick on the "Start a
macro/script" button (looks like the play button on a VCR/tape deck) on
the top of your PCS session window. You will be queried for the macro
name, select it and click "OK". Your macro should begin executing all
the commands you recorded.
External Connection to IBM
1) Submit request for external access at
"http://w3-1.ibm.com/tools/it/ittools.nsf/main/mts_home", and on the
right side of the web page, under "Additional Resource", click on
"Manage your MTS IDs".
2) In the "Welcome to the Global Remote Access Homepage", enter your
IBM serial number in the ID OWNER's field and click the "Login Serial
Number" button.
3) Click on "Request New ID".
4) In the "Remote Access - New ID Enrollment" page, for the "ID TYPE"
field, select "MTS/DIAL Primary ID", for the "LOCATION" field, select
"Raleigh, NC", select the "I AGREE" option, and for the
"APPROVING MGR ID" enter your manager's shortname (i.e. "bemorris"),
then click "Next". (APPROVING MGR NODE should be "IBMUS")
5) In the next page, click "Submit ID Request". In a few
minutes (15, yeah right), your manager should receive an approval
notice they must respond to with/for approval.
Once you have an account, you can either perform the remainder of the
install at your home, or perform the installation at an IBM site.
Dependant upon where you perform the install, the sequence in which
you install the AT&T Global Network Firewall program will differ.
Just follow the instructions you are presented by the installer. The
following instructions were performed connecting from a remote location
using a phone modem connection.

minth).
14) In the "Hummingbird Setup Wizard Completed" panel, click "Finish"
and then close the "Hummingbird Master Setup" panel.
Configuring and
Using Hummingbird Exceed
1) From the Windows "Start" button, select "Programs", "Hummingbird
Connectivity 7.0", "Exceed", and click on "Xconfig". In the Password
popup, enter the password entered during the installation process and
click "OK".
2) The "exceed.cfg - Xconfig" window will pop up, double click on
the "Screen Definition" icon. In this window, within the
"Screen0"
tab, under the "Window Mode", select "Multiple", and in the "Window
Manager" field, select "Native", then click "OK" and close the
"exceed.cfg - Xconfig" panel.
3) From the Windows "Start" button, select "Programs", "Exceed",

"Untitled - Xstart Client Startup Application" window, in the following
fields enter the appropriate data:
Start
Method:
REXEC (TCP/IP)
Program Type: X Window
Login/Userid:
(your account name on the Unix/Linux/AIX server)
Login/Password: (your password)
Login/Host:
ewok.raleigh.ibm.com (or the full domain name for the
server)
Host Type: IBM AIX
(in the following fields, substitute YOUR machine's IP address
(obtained from the DOS prompt using the command "ipconfig /all" in the
"PPP adapter AT&T Network Client" "IP Address" field"), and do not
forget the ":0.0". The title is optional, and if you wish to use it,
substitute "yourtitle" for what you wish)
Login/Command: @(XTerm, method=stdappdb) -title
yourtitle -display 12.65.37.113:0.0 -sb &
Login/Prompt: (click
"none" radio button (= on))
4) From the "Untitled - Xstart Client Startup Application" window
menu bar click "File" and "Save As" and create a filename for your
configuration.
5) From Xstart menu bar click "Run" to start an Xwindow. An xterm
window should appear on your desktop.

Description" enter the value that should be equal to filename created
above. Click "OK". A Program Group window should appear.
Click on filename/icon to invoke creation of a window (or alternatively
drag the icon to your desktop).
Note: When logging onto some AIX machines your ".profile" might
not be executed. If this is the case, it might be necessary to
issue the command:
. ./.profile (that's dot, one space, dot,
forward slash, dot, "profile")
If there is a "export DISPLAY" assignment in this profile, it might
change the IP address which you might have to reassign to your desktop
machine (i.e. "export DISPLAY=12.65.37.113:0.0" (no quotes, use your
desktop
machine's IP from step 3 above)).
7) Once you export your display you should be able to test your
installation by displaying the clock. From the AIX command prompt,
enter "xclock &", and a graphic clock should appear (you
might be queried whether you are willing to display through your
security/firewall, tell it yes).
Note: For cable modem (i.e. "Roadrunner"), you must install the "Sign
On" software, which can you can get from IBM ISSI or you can order the
ISSI CDs, but you need to register to SINE (which is the "Sign on"
software for Road Runner). You will use your normal IBM Global
Network ID and password for this access . (Note the author lives just
outside the outskirts
of civilization , so has never tried this with a cable modem)
To change to a Xwindows desktop
