My individual account is limited to a single device session. What happens if my connection gets broken while Im still signed on?

If you’ve connected before and suddenly you can’t get a connection, it’s possible that your previous session was disconnected without signing off. If you are using a named device (like YOURNAMED1) it’s possible that your device is still active, so you can’t connect to it. Try changing your device name to YOURNAMED2 and see if you can connect. If you can connect and if you really do have a broken connection, the signon procedure will attempt to disconnect (not end) the other job and send you a break message. At that point, you should disconnect, change the device back to YOURNAMED1 and reconnect. Your job will be connected right where you left off. Some terminal emulators (like Windows Telnet) can’t be ‘disconnected’ because they show up on the AS400 as ‘server jobs’. Those connections will be ended instead of disconnected. Most decent emulators (Nexus, Mocha, Client Access Express) will support disconnection properly.
