Section 13 SNA Parameter Overview
This appendix provides summary information on the parameters that
control the basic operation of the SNA communication and the IBM
printer emulation. It also describes how these parameters may be
changed.
An overview of how parameters are mapped during the auto-
configuration process is also provided.
Refer to the Parameter List document on www.axis.com for a
complete description of the Axis Print server parameters.
Communication Parameters
In most environments, the basic communication parameters need to
be customized in order to establish a communication link to the host
system. This includes setting the Host MAC Address and Host Name
parameters in the Print Server. In this chapter you will find
instructions on how to update these parameters.
SNA Communications
Process
There are several parameters that control the basic operation of the
SNA communication, and IBM printer emulation. The diagram below
shows how they relate to the SNA printing process.
