ETHERNET TO TWINAX/COAX PRINT SERVER

2. Open the configuration dialog box by double clicking on the desired print

server or by highlighting the desired print server and then pressing the

Configure button displayed in the tool bar.

3. If the print server already has an IP address, proceed directly with step 4.

Otherwise, follow these instructions:

a. Select the TCP/IP by checking the white box in front of that selection.

The column titled “Object Information” will display the available

configuration parameters.

b. Enter the print server IP address.

c. If necessary, enter the IP address for the default router and sub-net mask.

You may need to get this from your system administrator.

4. Select TN5250e by checking the white box in front of that selection in the left

column of the print-control configuration screen. The column titled “Object

Information” will display the available configuration parameters.

5. The print server supports up to 10 IBM hosts. Enter the host IP address (see

your system administrator for this address). A host may not be entered more

than one time.

6. In the Type field, select the type of IBM host by clicking on the drop-down

arrow and highlighting the type of host.

7. Click on the Printer button to display the Printer Device Names screen. The

print server supports an individual TN5250e printer session for each attached

printer. Click on the box for each printer that is attached and enter a printer

name (maximum of 8 characters).

When the print server is reset, the AS/400 will automatically configure a

printer device for each attached printer that has been selected and named

here.

The printer must be in the “ready” mode for this auto-configuration to occur.

If the printer name is left blank, the host AS/400 will still automatically create

a 3812 device but will give the printer the name of QPADEVnnnn, with nnnn

being a 4-digit number. However, each time the print server connects to the

host, the nnnn number for the printer may be different. This may cause

problems where a specific printer name is used in specifying the location of

printed output. Black Box does not recommend that you let the AS/400

create the printer name.
