CHAPTER 7: Twinax/Coax Configuration
To setup the Ethernet to Twinax/Coax Print Server, select which protocol you are
using to communicate between the IBM host and the print server. Designate
whether the printer is attached using twinax or coax. For 3270-coax printers, you
will also have to identify if the printer is an IPDS printer. You may also need to
customize how the twinax or 3270-coax printer treats some of the instructions
coming from the IBM hosts.
If you have not already installed the print-control utility, please go back to Chapter
3 and do so now. Then perform the LAN connectivity configuration of the print
server using Chapters 4, 5, or 6. Use this chapter to complete the configuration of
the print server emulation function.

print server, then click on the Configure button, or double-click on the
desired print server.
2. After performing the necessary protocol configurations (if not already
completed), click on the Printer Ports/Emulations button.
3. Click on the radio button to the left of the Twinax Port button to activate the
twinax port.
4. Click on the Twinax Port button to display the twinax port configuration
options.
