as a 5494 PU2.1 node to the host. This is the
recommended mode for the AS/400
environment. The 5494 mode cannot be used in
the mainframe environment.

directly attached AS/400 system, this value is
found in the "Line Description".

will automatically try to establish the link when
the print server is switched on, or if
