You use this tool to set up connectivity to the Informix system. As a result, terms on the installation worksheets are identified with one of the three windows:
The General window, where you name the DSN is named and enter the database name
The Connection window, where you configure Informix connectivity parameters
The Advanced window, where you configure parameters that can affect performance and resource use
