CHAPTER 4: TCP/IP Printing

Adding the Print Server to the AS/400 TCP/IP Host Table

1. On your AS/400’s command line, type cfgtcp to enter the configure

TCP/IP menu.

2. Select 10 Work with TCP/IP host table entries. Scroll down and make sure

there are no duplicate print server addresses.

3. Place a 1 in front of the blank line on top of the list to add another TCP/IP

device. Press <Enter>.

4. Enter the print server TCP/IP address in the Internet address field.

5. Under Host names: Name..., enter the following:

print server Name.Host Network ID.SNA.IBM.COM

(for example: IO5450PS.APPN.SNA.IBM.COM)

6. If you wish, you may enter an additional description for the print server in the

Text description field.

7. Press <Enter>.

Creating an AnyNet Controller

Black Box’s recommended method for configuring the print server is to have only

one AnyNet APPC controller on the AS/400. However, this method is limited to

attaching a maximum of 254 AnyNet devices (including the print server). If you

are using more than 254 AnyNet devices, you should skip to the section below.

Otherwise, proceed with these instructions:

1. If you already have an AnyNet Controller defined on your AS/400, skip to

step 2. Otherwise, type the following on the AS/400 command prompt:

CRTCTLAPPC CTLD (AnyNet Controller Name) LINKTYPE

(*ANYNW)

RMTCPNAME (AnyNet Remote Control Point Name) RMTNETID

(*NETATR)

Press <Enter>.

2. Vary On the AnyNet controller by typing the following on the AS/400

command prompt:

WRKCFGSTS *CTL AnyNet Controller Name
