ETHERNET TO TWINAX/COAX PRINT SERVER
Press <Enter>.
3. Type a 1 in front of the APPC controller and press <Enter>.
Alternate Method: Creating One AnyNet Controller for Each Print Server
It is possible to create an individual AnyNet controller for every print server
installed. However, this approach can be confusing since any programmable
AnyNet APPC device (and the printers attached to the print server will fall into this
category) will randomly configure under the different APPC controllers. Although
this does not affect operation, it does make it more difficult to locate and
administer the various AnyNet APPC devices.
To create an AnyNet controller specifically for the print server, type the following
on the AS/400 command prompt:
CRTCTLAPPC CTLD (print server Name) LINKTYPE (*ANYNW)
RMTCPNAME (print server Name) RMTNETID (*NETATR)
Press <Enter>.
Changing the AS/400’s APPN Remote Configuration List
When using Black Box’s recommended method of just one AnyNet APPC
controller for all AnyNet APPC devices, each print server needs to be added to the
AS/400’s APPN remote configuration list. To accomplish this follow these steps:
1. On the AS/400 command prompt, type:
CHGCFGL *APPNRMT
Press <Enter>.
2. Scroll to the bottom of the displayed list and enter the requested parameters.
Refer to the worksheet for the needed information. The other parameters are
optional. Press <Enter> when done.
