AXIS 5470e User’s Guide 29

Note for IPDS printing:

2. Click the Configuration Wizard for IBM sessions button.

3. Click the Add Session button. This will start the Configuration Wizard which is a

step-by-step guide through the required configuration settings.

Verifying the Communication Link

1. Press the AXIS 5470e test button once to print a test page and ensure that the SNA status

is defined as Idle, Actv, LU-1 or LU-3.

Notes:

Note:

Proceed to Management and configuration on page 47 for information on supported

management and configuration tools.

In the Configuration Wizard, you can choose between PCL or PostScript printing. Choose the printer

language that corresponds to your printer.

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. An AXIS 5470e

with a MAC/node address of 00408C1B06D4 will be defined using the MAC/node address

000231D8602B as follows:

PA5701 PATH DIALNO=0104000231D8602B, 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.

• 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.

If the setup fails, please refer to the troubleshooting section in the AXIS 5470e User’s Manual,

supplied on the Axis Web site at http://www.axis.com
