Note: Starting with Version 4 Release 2, the xxxx are no longer only numeric
characters, but also alphanumeric characters from 0001 to ZZZZ, allowing
a maximum of 1,679,615 unique names (devices).
If you want to use more than 32500 devices, which is the maximum value
for the QAUTOVRT system, you can set the QAUTOVRT system value to
*NOMAX to allow additional devices to be created.
v The Telnet server uses (existing) virtual devices only if the device type and model
are the same as the device type and model negotiated between the client and
server systems. Devices can also be selected via the exit program interface as
opposed to being negotiated.
Step 5—Telnet Printer Pass-Through—Activating the QSYSWRK
Subsystem
The QSYSWRK subsystem must be active. Use the Work with Subsystem
(WRKSBS) command to display the status of the subsystem.
The Telnet server must also be started. The interactive subsystem, QINTER, which
is used in previous examples in this chapter, needs to be started to run interactive
jobs for Telnet sessions. The spooling subsystem (QSPL) needs to be active to run
printer pass-through sessions.
Telnet Printer Pass-Through Mode Server to Client Access Win95
Telnet Client
This topic describes some practical experiences of a TPPT mode Telnet server with
the Client Access for Win95 client.
TPPT Mode Server to Client Access Win95 Telnet Client
The IBM Client Access for Win95 client provides both display emulation, 5250
full-screen Telnet client, and printer emulation. A printer session can be started by
selecting:
1. ″IBM for AS/400 Client Access″, ″Accessories″, ″Start or Configure Session″
from the program start menu
2. Select the name of an AS/400 system to connect to from the System name
pull-down
Use the workstation ID field to specifically request an AS/400 virtual device name or
leave it blank and the Telnet server will auto-select a compatible virtual device
(QPADEVxxxx) and return the name on the printer control panel.
For type of emulation:
1. Choose printer
2. Click on the set-up box to bring up the PC5250 printer emulation set-up screen
From the set-up screen, you may configure things such as font, the AS/400
message queue where printer messages are to be sent, and the ″transform print
data to ASCII on AS/400″ (HPT) host function. If HPT is selected, this enables other
configuration items, such as printer model and media tray selection options. There
is also an auto-reconnect option, and an option to override the default AS/400
Telnet port number (23).
