AXIS 5470e User’s Guide 27

Configuring the Mainframe Host System for SNA Printing

Important!

1. Define a VTAM Major Node Definition where the Print Server definitions will be

placed. Using a channel attached 3174 as a gateway to the host, this definition is

typically defined as a Local Major Node. If you are using a remotely attached

gateway via a 37X5 communications controller or a LAN attached 3172, you will be

working with a Switched Major Node definition.

2. Add the Print Server PU and LU definitions to the major node definition.

Notes:

Example:

3. Ensure that the corresponding VTAM Logon-mode entries are available and that the

appropriate LU session types (LU1 or LU3) are used.

4. Vary ACTive the VTAM Major Node definition for the AXIS 5470e.

When using a concentrator gateway between the host and your print server, it is not necessary to define separate

VTAM Major Node and PU definitions for the AXIS 5470e. You will instead be working with the gateway VTAM

definitions. Since the AXIS 5470e will appear to the host as one or several LU’s attached to the gateway PU, you

need only add LU definitions to the gateway major node definition and then proceed to step 3 below.

For Switched major Node definitions you will need to:

• Add the IDBLK (default = E07) and IDNUM (default = last 5 digits of the AXIS 5470e MAC address)

entries to the PU definition.

• Code a PATH definition using the full 12 digit MAC address of the print server (the MAC address is

identical with the serial number which is found on the underside label on the print server).

• An AXIS 5470e with a MAC/node address 00408C1B06D4 will be defined as: PA5470e1 PATH

DIALNO=010400408C1B06D4, GID=1, PID=1, GRPNM=gggggg

• ‘GRPNM’ specifies the symbolic name of a GROUP statement in an NCP major node. That GROUP

statement defines a logical group of SDLC switched lines or token-ring switched lines.
