-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft SNA Server, versions 2.11, 3.0, 4.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
=======

The TN3270 Service of SNA Server supports the TN3270E protocol as specified by
RFC 1647. The new TN3270 Service adds support for the following:

- LU1 and LU3 printing.

- The ability to associate a printer LU with a display LU.

- The ability for a client to request connection to a specific LU or LU pool.

- Standardized access to the SSCP-LU session.

- Standardized support for the ATTN and SYSREQ keys.

MORE INFORMATION
================

2.11:
-----

For 2.11, these features were introduced into 2.11 SP1 and are supported through
TN3270 Admin. See the Help file for additional information on configuring these
features.

3.0:
----

For 3.0, TN3270 Administration is now integrated into SNA Server Manager. In
addition, the readme.wri includes the following note:

TN3270 and LUA LU Pools "LUA LU pools cannot be added to the TN3270 service.
Individual LUA LUs are managed based on the IP address that TN3270 is using."

Non-version specific notes: NOTE: Do not attempt to edit the TN3270 Service
configuration file directly; doing so can cause unpredictable results.

NOTE: Although you can still connect to the SNA Server TN3270 service with a
TN3270 client, you need a TN3270E client to make use of the TN3270E features.

STATUS
======

This feature is included in the latest U.S. Service Pack for SNA Server for
Windows NT, version 2.11. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query
