ETU400 User Guide 011603 vii
About This Guide
Use this guide to install and run ETU 400 on the IBM AS/400 host
computer.
Who Should Use This Guide?
All users of ETU, from the beginning user of the AS/400 to the most
advanced user, should refer to this guide. ETU interfaces directly with
the 5251 emulation software running on your microcomputer, whether it's
an IBM PC, an Apple Mac or a UNIX workstation. This guide assumes that
you have a working knowledge of your microcomputer and the emulation
software that resides on it.
How This Guide is Organized
This guide is divided into four parts. Each part is briefly described
below.
Part One:
Getting Started
Part One is intended for all users of ETU, and should be read prior to
installation. It lists the items you should have received with ETU, the
host and microcomputer hardware and software requirements for running
ETU, and installation instructions.
Part Two:
Running ETU
Part Two is intended for all users, but especially for first-time users
of ETU. It describes the basic concepts and terms used with ETU and the
AS/400. In addition, it explains the most common ETU commands and
provides examples of how to use them.
Part Three:
ETU Command Reference
Part Three is like a reference guide for ETU. It is intended for
experienced users of both ETU and the AS/400. You will find all ETU
commands listed in alphabetical order, along with the functions and the
parameters associated with each command.
Part Four:
Appendices
The appendices include supplementary technical information, followed by
an index.

Welcome to ETU
ETU is a host software package that allows you to transfer files between
an IBM AS/400 host computer and one or more microcomputers that are
emulating an IBM 5250 display station.
What ETU Can Do for You
The purpose of ETU is twofold: to transfer data and to translate data.
Data transfer entails the movement of data between two systems.
Data translation changes the way the data is represented or stored so
that the same data can be used by two different systems. More
specifically, with ETU, you can:
•Transfer data between your microcomputer and the AS/400;
•Transfer data from one microcomputer to another microcomputer of the
same type;
•Transfer user-specified fields or records between the host and the
microcomputer;
•Transfer a single host file to as many as ten microcomputers with one
command;
•Translate files to and from the following microcomputer formats: ASCII
TEXT, BASIC Sequential, DIF, and TAB;
•Create, rename, test for existence of, and delete files on the micro
while running 5250 emulation from the microcomputer;
•Use the host for off-line storage of microcomputer files.

ETU400 User Guide 011603 1-3
Inventory Checklist
In addition to this manual, the following items are included in your ETU
package:
9One of the following sets of storage media containing the ETU
software: six 5.25-inch diskettes' one reel-to-reel tape, one tape
cartridge, or one CDROM.
If this item is missing, contact NLynx Customer Service at 888-NLynx67
from 8:30 to 5:30 Central Standard Time.
Security Considerations
When you first receive ETU, there are some functions that can only be
performed by the system security officer (QSECOFR). The security level
associated with each function may be changed to allow more users access
to, or to limit the number of user for a particular ETU function.
Table 1-1 lists the ETU functions and the security required to use them.
For more information about security with ETU, see Appendix A, Inside ETU.
NOTE: If a user profile contains special authority (SPCAUT) value
*ALLOBJ, all users with that profile automatically have access to the ETU
power commands on the ETU Main menu. To revoke the power commands from
this user profile, you must change the user profile, removing *ALLOBJ
from SPCAUT value.
Systems with security level of 10 or 20 will automatically have *ALLOBJ
in SPCAUT.

ETU400 User Guide 011603 1-4
Hardware and Software Requirements
The host and microcomputer hardware and software required by ETU are
described below.
Hardware Requirements
In order to run ETU, you must have the following hardware components:
•IBM AS/400
and one of the following:
•IBM PC, IBM PS/2, or compatible;
•Apple Mac System 8.0 to OSX.
Software Requirements
The AS/400 requires:
•Operating System/400, Version 1 Release 3, or higher;
•Source Entry Utility (SEU).
NOTE: You must specify if your machine is a CISC or RISC version.
•Each PC requires:
•Windows 32-bit operating systems: Win95, Win98, SE, ME, XP, or 2000
•One of the NLynx Technologies Inc. ES32 products: ES/PCI, ES/Remote,
ES/TCP, ES/3XTwin, ES/Server, or ES/Client.
•Each Apple Mac requires:
•OS8 or OS9
•MacMidrange Client or TCP/Axcess by NLynx Technologies, Inc.
Note: Many older products, including DOS, Unix, and Windows 3.1 will work
with ETU also, but they are not supported by NLynx Technologies. Rule of
thumb, if it worked in the past, and the operating system was not
upgraded, it will probably still work.
