How to Create a 3270 Printer LU

The following procedure details how to create a printer LU.

In SNA Manager, expand Servers, expand SNA Service, and then expand Connections.
Right-click the appropriate connection, DM3270, point to New, and then click Printer LU.

You can define LUs in this Properties dialog box. Keep the default for the LU Number box as 3. Three is the first available number, because two was used in the previous example and one is reserved for the host.

The LU number is meaningful to the connection. You can add a user-friendly name in the LU Name box.
Type the LU Name, LU 4. (You might have expected LU 3, but LU 3 is reserved for the LU3 demo.) Leave the other boxes as they are.
Type a comment (optional).
If you are using compression, select the Use Compression box.
If the workstation is secured, select the User Workstation Secured box.
Click OK.
