TELNET CONNECTIONS: The terminal server may take a few seconds to establish a
Telnet connection to a domain name after it has been initialized. During this time, the
server is attempting to locate the Domain Name Server, look up the Internet address for
the domain name, and then make the connection. Subsequent attempts to connect to
that Telnet host occur without delay, because the terminal server has a record of the
Telnet address for that domain name.

TN3270 CONNECTIONS: You can use an Internet address or a domain name to reach
an IBM host and establish a TN3270 session. Once you make the connection, your
terminal emulates an IBM 3270 display station. See Chapter 4 for more information
about TN3270 terminal emulation.

about TN3270 terminal emulation.
LAT CONNECTIONS: LAT services can exist at more than one LAT service node, or
terminal server port. The node-name and port-name variables allow you to specify a
service node or port when this is the case. If a LAT service exists at more than one
service node or port and you do not specify one in the CONNECT command, the
terminal server makes a connection based on which has the highest rating. This rating
indicates the ability of the node or port to support additional connections.

Some LAT services may require that you supply a password before you can use them.
If a LAT service requires a password, the terminal server prompts you for it after you
enter the CONNECT command. Enter the password and press the <Return> key.
Check with the network manager if you have questions about the password for a LAT
service. See the Examples section of this command description for an example of a
LAT service with password protection.

LAT services allow a limited number of connections from terminal server ports. When
the number of connections to a service has reached the maximum amount, additional
connection requests are placed in a queue if one is enabled. If you request a connection
to a service, and the service does not respond, it may already have the maximum
number of terminal server connections or it may be unavailable.

PREFERRED SERVICES: If you enter the CONNECT command without a
destination, the terminal server searches for a predefined preferred LAT service or a
preferred Telnet destination. Preferred services are defined by the network manager, but
you can check to see if a preferred service has been defined for your port with the
SHOW|LIST PORTS CHARACTERISTICS command.
