TCP/IP TN3270E Printing

The following procedures describe how to configure the AXIS 5470e

for SCS, 3270DS and IPDS printing, using TCP/IP TN3270E.

This is achieved by establishing communication between the AXIS

5470e and Mainframe host via a TN3270E server, using the TCP/IP

transport protocol for the SCS, 3270 and IPDS data streams, as

illustrated below:

Note:

Configuring for TN3270E printing is described in four separate stages:

• Configuring the IBM Mainframe Host system

• Configuring the AXIS 5470e

• Configuring the TN3270E server

• Verifying the communication

Configuring the

Mainframe host

Consult your TN3270E server documentation and make sure that the

appropriate VTAM host system definitions are set up for

mainframe-to-TN3270E server SNA communication.

IPDS is only available for AXIS 5470e units with the IPDS option installed. Please

refer to Product Model Summary, on page 7
