Identifying Yourself to the System
The first thing you must do to start your terminal session is to turn on
the power according to instructions provided by your installation.
In
many cases, you will find an instruction sheet such as the one shown in
Figure 2 attached to the terminal.
In the example shown in Figure 2.
instructions 1 through 8 must be followed to turn on the power and to
establish the connection with the system.
If there is no instruction
sheet attached to the terminal, consult the publication, TSO Terminals.
After you turn on the power you must use the LOGON command to
identify yourself to the system.
You must supply, as operands of LOGON,
the user attributes assigned to you by your installation.
Your user
attributes are:
1.
User identification (required) -- The name or code by which you are
known to the system.
2.
Password (required if your installation assigns you one) -- A
further identification used for additional security protection.
3.
Account number (optional) -- The account to which your terminal
session is charged.
