Page 2-3CHAPTER 2 ADVANCED CONFIGURATION
Changing Configuration Option Parameters
The command for changing all parameters in the 5250 ALLY begins with
the text !AGILE!, the configuration trigger. (The trigger is not case
sensitive; it may be entered either in upper or lower case letters.) The
trigger is followed eventually by a semicolon (;), the configuration
terminator. Configuration changes take the following form:
!AGILE!OO=CC;
Where !AGILE! is the trigger; OO represents the Option number (2 or 4
hexadecimal digits); CC represents the 2-digit Choice number; an equals
sign (=) separates the option number from the choice number; and a
semicolon (;) is the terminator.
The hexadecimal values to be substituted for OO and CC are listed on the
enclosed AGILE 5250 ALLY Configuration Reference Card. The number
for each option or choice is indicated in parentheses within the box that
holds the name of the option or choice. For instance, the option number for
changing the twinax address is 01. To change the twinax address to 3,
enter:
!AGILE!01=03;
Commands are entered in a document to be printed. After typing the
command, press the Print Screen key on the alternate host or twinax host
keyboard. The 5250 ALLY will interpret the command and change the
units configuration. The configuration changes will be temporary unless
they are saved to the 5250 ALLYs flash memory. The command will not
be sent to the printer. This allows the user to change the configuration of
the 5250 ALLY transparently within a document.
Multiple Configuration Changes
Multiple configuration changes can be made in a single document. Each
configuration change must be separated by a comma. Nulls, Spaces, Tabs,
Carriage Returns, Line Feeds, Form Feeds and New Lines are allowed. The
following command will change the twinax address to 1, set the unit to
emulate an IBM 5256 printer, set the mode to IBM emulation, and change
the twinax timeout period to one minute:
!AGILE!01=01,02=05,03=01,05=06;
