Configuring the
Mainframe
Host System
These procedures are compulsory for printing in the IBM Mainframe
environment.
Configuring the host system requires you to do the following:
• Make sure that a VTAM Logon-mode entry is available for your
AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e.
• Create the VTAM Definition for the Major Node where the Print
Server definition is to be placed.
Before you begin Make note of the AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e serial number that is found
on the backside label of the print server.
Important:
1. Define a VTAM Major Node Definition where the Print
Server definitions will be placed. Using a channel attached 3174
as a gateway to the host, this definition is typically defined as a
Local Major Node. If you are using a remotely attached
gateway via a 37X5 communications controller or a LAN
attached 3172, you will be working with a Switched Major
Node definition.
When using a concentrator gateway between the host and your print server, it is
not necessary to define separate VTAM Major Node and PU definitions for the
AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e. You will instead be working with the gateway VTAM
definitions. Since the AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e will appear to the host as one or
several LU's attached to the gateway PU, you need only add LU definitions to the
gateway major node definition and then proceed to item 3 below.
