1. Download the file.

  • From a UCSD computer or using the VPN, download the 3270_30.exe file.

Note: Be sure to remember the name of the directory where you saved the file. You will need it for Step 2.

2. Run the EXE file.

  • Within Windows, go to the directory and run the 3270_30.exe file. Click the Extract button when prompted.
  • Running the TCP3270.EXE file will decompress a TCPSETUP directory, subdirectories, and associated files to the root level (C:) of the installing computer's hard drive.

Note: You can find additional information on running applications either in the Windows Documentation or from the Windows Help option located on the Program Manager's menu bar.

3. Run the SETUP file.

  • Run the SETUP.EXE file located in the TCPSETUP directory that was created in Step 2.
  • After the installation is complete, more detailed information can be obtained by double-clicking the README.WRI and TCP3270.HLP files located in the installed software's directory (eg. C:TCP3270).

Note: Running the SETUP.EXE file will install the TCP3270 software on your computer. It is best to use the default values when prompted for input during the installation process.

4. Secure your access.

  • When you access business systems on the mainframe, you must use a protocol with TCP3270 for protecting data. Follow the steps in these directions.
