Section 3

Conﬁguration

The Axis AFP factory default settings match that of an IBM 4028/3916 IPDS

page printer set for US English character set and A4 paper size.

Configuration of settings is done from an IBM 3270 terminal connected to the

Axis AFP if it is set up for coax connection, or from an IBM 5250 terminal if the

Axis AFP is set up for twinax connection.

Menus appearing on the screen guide through the steps of configuration. It has

only to be done once, since the settings are saved in non-volatile memory.

Entering the Conﬁguration Mode

To enter the configuration mode, perform the following:

1. Connect the terminal to the Axis AFP. Use a coax cable or the twinax T-bar

cable .

2. Power on the Axis AFP and the attached terminal. If you have an IBM 3270

coax terminal of DFT type, it is necessary to set it in Control Unit Customi-

zation mode in order to act like a CUT terminal. IBM 5250 twinax terminals

should be terminated.

3. After power-up, select position ‘9’ on the push-wheel. Wait for the STATUS

indicator to ﬂash.

4. Select position ‘7’ on the push-wheel. The STATUS indicator will ﬂash

quicker and the following will be displayed on your terminal: (see next page)
