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

Note:
Configuring the
AXIS 5470e
To perform the instructions presented in this section, you should first
assign an IP address to your AXIS 5470e using one of the methods
presented in Assigning an IP address, on page 20.
The purpose of the configuration of the AXIS 5470e is to emulate a
LAN attached IBM 3174 Control Unit running SNA PU2.0.
Follow the instructions below to configure the AXIS 5470e using a
Web browser:
1. Start a Web browser, e.g. Internet Explorer or Netscape
Navigator.
2. Enter the IP address or the host name of the AXIS 5470e in the
location field and press the Enter key on your keyboard. The
internal Web pages of the AXIS 5470e will appear.
If the LAN media at the remote (Print Server) location differs from that at the
host location (e.g. Remote LAN = Ethernet and Host LAN = Token Ring), the MAC
address definitions must be modified, as outlined below:
Print Server Modifications:
The AXIS 5470e Host MAC address (H1_MAC_ADDR) must be bit-order reversed
for each byte,
e.g. if the host address is 08005AB77D49 the converted address will be
10005AEDBE92
Host Modifications:
The required Host modifications are dependent upon the VTAM definition for the
Major Node where the Print Server definition is placed.
Case 1:
VTAM Major Node definition is a Switched Major Node.
The MAC address of the AXIS 5470e must be bit-order reversed in the PATH
entry. AnAXIS 5470e with a MAC/node address of 00408C1B06D4 will be defined
using the MAC/node address 000231D8602B as follows:
Case 2:
VTAM Major Node definition is a Local Major Node.
When using a channel attached controller as gateway to the host, the MAC
address of the AXIS 5470e is configured in the gateway. The address must be
reversed, as in case 1 above.
