Assigning LUs to Workstations

LUs (and LU pools) can also be assigned to workstations rather than users, effectively locking LUs to a specific computer. This configuration makes it easier for users to find and access different resources.

For example, suppose you have 150 employees who share 50 workstations, each of which has a printer attached. Instead of assigning 50 printer LUs to a pool and making the pool available to each user, you can add each of the workstations to SNA Server and assign a printer LU to each workstation. Doing so allows users to log on to any of the 50 workstations, and the printer that is attached to the workstation is available in the list of LUs.
