Subject: TN3270E-MIB and Associated Terminal-Printer Pairs

While working with the latest draft of the TN3270E-MIB, I have come across some shortcomings that should be addressed before finalizing the MIB. I will address each item in a separate submission to the group.

I have discovered that in the latest draft of the TN3270E-MIB, there is no provision for configuring an associated terminal-printer pair.  I have just recently come across this revelation, and since we are at last call for the TN3270E-MIB, I think that this issue should be resolved before the MIB is adopted.

It has been suggested to me that the associated terminal-printer information could be added in a supplemental MIB. While this solution would suffice, it would leave the TN3270E-MIB with an omission of one of the fundamental enhancements over traditional tn3270.

Prompt feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Diego
