This article was previously published under Q159982
SYMPTOMS
The SNA Server 2.11 Service Pack 1 (SP1) TN3270 Server service supports the
TN3270E specification, which allows a specific LU to be requested by the
TN3270E emulator.
In the TN3270 Administrator program, it is also possible to assign a
specific LUA LU to a specific client TCP/IP address. However, if the
TN3270E emulator does not request this specific LUA LU name, the user may
receive another available LUA LU (if an LU is assigned to any IP address,
or to the subnet mask of the user) and not the specific LU.
CAUSE
The SNA Server 2.11 SP1 TN3270E service was not designed to support
LU-to-IP address assignment if the TN3270E emulator does not request this
specific LU. Instead, this configuration would cause the TN3270E server
to prevent other TN users from accessing this specific LU.
RESOLUTION
Reliable LU-to-IP address assignment has been added to the SNA Server 2.11
SP1 TN3270E server through an update available from Microsoft Product
Support, for either TN3270 or TN3270E clients. This feature is also
supported in SNA Server 3.0.
STATUS
This feature has been added to 2.11 and is available from Microsoft.
