Connect to
Tap the name of a configuration to select it. Glink will now return to the main screen and connect to the configured host. If there is a Connect macro defined in this configuration, it will be executed. Tap the detail-icon to the right of the configuration name to go into the Settings screen for this particular configuration. The Settings screen allow you to setup communications-, emulation- and screen-options for any of the configurations in the Connect to list. For the current session, you can also get to it from Menu > Settings.
Settings
Tap the ⓘ icon to change one ore more of the parameters for the session selected.
Edit
The Edit button allow you to either delete configurations or sessions or to move configurations to new positions in the list. Enter Edit-mode by tapping the Edit button. Then tap the stop icon and confirm by tapping Delete to remove a configuration or session. Tap, hold and drag the list-icon on the configuration you want to move, to its new position. Tap Done to exit Edit-mode.
Rename
Long press a session entry in the session list to rename it. Use the same procedure to rename a template in the template list.
Sessions started
This section lists the sessions started if any. The icon to the left of the name of the session shows if the session is connected (green) or disconnected (red). Tap a session name to switch to it.
New configuration
Tap the New configuration button to setup a new configuration.
Choose a name for your new configuration and type the IP address of your host system. The IP address may be a numeric address of the form 129.1.1.150, or a symbolic name (such as www.gar.no). If you need to connect to a port other than the default, this may be added to the end of the address, using a colon (:) to separate it from the rest of the address. For example, to connect to port 1311 you should specify 129.1.1.150:1311 or www.gar.no:1311.
If you are using the multi-emulation version of Glink, you can also choose terminal emulation and host communication protocol for the configuration.
Tap Save when you're done, or tap Cancel to return to the Configurations screen without creating a new configuration.
Repeat the process to configure more host systems. For IBM and VT hosts you may now be ready to go, but for Bull host systems and some IBM hosts you have to go to Menu > Settings to configure Ggate/TNVIP/TN3270/TN5250 protocol options before you can connect to your host system. This is also the place to go if you need to modify the IP address of your host system.
Templates
List and manage templates. If you intend to define several sessions with similar settings, a predefined template can simplify the process of defining a new session.
New session
To run multi sessions, tap the New session item in the Sessions started list to enter New session mode. In the Connect to list tap a configuration name to start another session, or tap Cancel to exit the New session mode.
