AXIS 570/
670 MIO
IBM SNA
Environment
When using the AXIS 570/670 MIO in the SNA environment, it will
appear as a network attached 3270 or 5250 Control Unit with one or
several Logical Units. Conversion of the IBM data stream to the
appropriate ASCII printer language (PCL5 or PCL4) is made by the
AXIS 570/670 MIO. See the figure below:
Schematic diagram of the AXIS 570/670 MIO displaying logical blocks for data
conversion
The SNA support gives a number of benefits:
• Stand-alone function, not relying on any intermediate device.
• Gives a very cost-effective and small solution for connecting LAN
printers to IBM mainframes and AS/400s.
• Direct printer status feedback is maintained.
