AXIS 5470e/570/670e User’s Manual Section 5: Setting Up - IBM Mainframe

TCP/IP TN3270E Printing

The following procedures describe how to configure the AXIS

5470e/570/670e for SCS, 3270DS and IPDS printing, using TCP/IP

TN3270E.

This is achieved by establishing communication between the AXIS

5470e/570/670e and Mainframe host via a TN3270E server, using

the TCP/IP transport protocol for the SCS, 3270 and IPDS data

streams, as illustrated below:

Note:

Configuring for TN3270E printing is described in four separate

stages:

• Configuring the IBM Mainframe Host system

• Configuring the AXIS 5470e/570/670e

• Configuring the TN3270E server

• Verifying the communication

Configuring the

Mainframe host

Consult your TN3270E server documentation and make sure that the

appropriate VTAM host system definitions are set up for

mainframe-to-TN3270E server SNA communication.

IPDS is only available for AXIS 670e and AXIS 5470e units with the IPDS option

installed. Please refer to Product Model Summary on page 10
