SNA
Host Set-up - IBM AS/400, 3270 CU mode
Before you begin
❏ You have decided that the AXIS 570/670 MIO is going to run in
3270 CU mode. This does not provide optimum AS/400
performance; the 5250 CU mode is recommended.
❏ Have the serial number, found on the back of the AXIS 570/670
MIO, available.
Set-up
The set-up consists of four steps:
1. Creating a controller description.
2. Creating a printer device description.
3. Initializing communication.
4. Verifying the communication.
On the following pages you will find sample controller and printer
descriptions.
Notes:
❏ You will only be able to print plain text. Native AS/400 printout
is limited to 10 CPI and 132 columns per line. The full
functionality of OfficeVision (justification, etc.) cannot be
utilized, as only 3270-type printers can be emulated by the AXIS
570/670 MIO in 3270 CU mode. The font to be used can,
however, be selected. See Extended IBM Printer Emulation on page
149.
❏ If you have TCP/IP installed on the AS/400, you may wish to use
it to print. See Section 8 Setting Up - UNIX.
❏ The sample below assumes that local station address etc. has not
been changed in the AXIS 570/670 MIO. The values that should
be entered are in
bold
. The
underlined
values must be entered
exactly as shown.
