SNA
Note:
❏ The AXIS 570/670 MIO can only be configured for use with a
single host, an IBM mainframe or an AS/400.
❏ Although it is possible to define several logical units on the host
system the AXIS 570/670 MIO will only print one SNA job at a
time. SNA jobs are held in a print queue within the AXIS
570/670 MIO and are processed on a first-come-first-serve basis.
Control Unit Emulation
General
The AXIS 570/670 MIO may be set up to emulate either a LAN
attached IBM 3174 or IBM 5494 Control Unit. In the
mainframe/VTAM environment it must be set up to emulate an
IBM 3174 (3270 CU mode). Proceed to Host Set-up - IBM Mainframe,
on page 39 for information on the mainframe host setup.
In the IBM AS/400 environment, the AXIS 570/670 MIO may be set
up in either mode. We strongly recommend you choose IBM 5494
emulation (5250 CU mode) to achieve maximum functionality. The
5250 CU mode offers a significantly richer set of features for
formatting text. Proceed to Host Set-up - IBM AS/400, 5250 CU mode,
on page 45 for information on to set up the AS/400 for communication
with an AXIS 570/670 MIO running in 5250 CU mode.
If you have decided to run the AXIS 570/670 MIO in 3270 CU mode
in an IBM AS/400 environment you should proceed to Host Set-up -
IBM AS/400, 3270 CU mode, on page 54.
