Configuring Telnet server for 5250 full-screen mode

The 5250 full-screen mode enables Telnet client users to sign on and run 5250 full-screen applications. You need to complete these steps before establishing your Telnet client session:

1. Start the Telnet server on the remote system (the system that you want to connect to using Telnet).

2. Set the System i™ platform to automatically configure virtual controllers and devices. Verify that the QTVTELNET and QTVDEVICE jobs in the QSYSWRK subsystem are active by completing the following steps:

   1. Start iSeries™ Navigator and expand your system > Work Management.

   2. Right-click Subsystems and click Open.

   3. Verify that the subsystem is active.

3. Check the QAUTOVRT system value. It should equal the maximum number of users that are signed on, using automatically configured virtual devices, at any one time. QAUTOVRT supports numeric values of 0 through 32 500, and a special value of *NOMAX.
