CHAPTER 4: TCP/IP Printing

A. This name must be unique to the AS/400.

B. The name must be no longer than 8 characters.

C. The name must start with an alpha character (A–Z).

D. The name must consist of the characters A–Z, a–z, or 0–9. Spaces,

underscores, slashes, etc. are not accepted.

E. The first four characters should uniquely identify the device, since the

print server will automatically create printer devices on your AS/400

using the first four characters of the name you assigned to the print server

followed by PRTXX.

4. AS/400 TCP/IP Address: ______________________

The AS/400’s TCP/IP address can be retrieved by typing cfgtcp at the

AS/400 command line and pressing <Enter>. Then select option 1, Work with

TCP/IP interfaces. The correct address for the AS400 will have a line type of

*ELAN.

5. Print Server TCP/IP Address: ___________________

Choose a unique IP address to assign to the print server. At the AS400

command line, type cfgtcp and press <Enter>. Choose option 10, Work with

TCP/IP host table entries. Verify Host Name is in the following format:

Black BoxPrintServerName.HostNetworkID.SNA.IBM.COM

For example:

IO5450PS.APPN.SNA.IBM.COM

6. AnyNet Controller Name: __________________

If you already have an AnyNet Controller defined on your AS/400 and plan to

use the print server under this controller, enter the AnyNet controller name

in the worksheet space above. To check for the name of the AnyNet

controller, type WRKCFGSTS at the command line then press F4. The type is

*CTL and the Configuration description should be *APPC. Press <Enter>

twice, and you’ll see all the APPC controllers on your system. If you are

unsure of the name of the AnyNet controller, you’ll need to display each

controller. To display a controller, type an “8” in front of each controller and

press <Enter>. Then enter a “5” to display the controller and find the one

with the link type of *Anynw.
