Section 5: Setting Up - IBM Mainframe AXIS 5470e/570/670e User’s Manual
68
Before you begin Make note of the AXIS 5470e/570/670e serial number that is found
on the label on the unit.
Procedures
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.
2.Add the Print Server PU and LU definitions to the major node
definition.
Note:
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 5470e/570/670e. You will instead be working with the gateway VTAM
definitions. Since the AXIS 5470e/570/670e 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.
For Switched Major Node definitions you need to:
•Add the IDBLK (default = E07) and IDNUM (default = last 5
digits of the AXIS 5470e/570/670e MAC address) entries to
the PU definition.
•Code a PATH definition using the unit’s full 12 digit MAC
address.
Example: An AXIS 5470e/570/670e with a MAC/node
address of
00408C100086 will be defined as:
PA5470e1 PATH DIALNO=010400408C100086, GID=1,
FID=1, GRPNM=gggggg
