DEFAULTLUS

The simplest way to assign LUs is to create a default LU group that Telnet can use for all terminal connections. DEFAULTLUS is a combination statement that defines the LUs in a default group and maps the group to the NULL Client Identifier. If the client's Client Identifiers do not match any LU mapping statements, the client is identified by the NULL Client Identifier and will be assigned LUs from the default group.

For example, use the following statement to create an LU group with a numeric range of LUG1001 to LUG1100. When Telnet assigns an LU to a terminal connection, it will assign the next available LU from that group of 100 LUs.

By default, Telnet uses a sequential selection method to assign LUs from the LU group. No LU name will be reused until all the names in the group have been used. Specifying NOSEQUENTIALLU changes the selection process to always start at the beginning and find the first name available. If the range is large and a large number of LUs are already assigned, NOSEQUENTIALLU might degrade LU lookup performance.
