Configuration Groups
The 5250 ALLY configuration options are organized into four groups:
Twinax (Group 00), Alternate Host (Group 30), Printer (Group 40-50) and
Translation (Group 60). Group numbers and option numbers that are not
included are reserved for configuration compatibility with other AGILE
products with feature sets that are different than the 5250 ALLY.
Twinax Configuration (Group 00)
This configuration group allows the user to change the twinax address,
printer emulation, twinax mode, twinax timeout value and special options
for Xerox printers.
Note: Xerox special options are described in Appendix A Interfacing
Xerox Printers.
01 Twinax Addressing
This option allows the user to change the twinax address, also referred to
as a session or logical unit. The user must choose an address that does not
conflict with an existing device on the twinax line. If the user chooses a
conflicting address, the 5250 ALLY will send a message to the printer that
reads, The twinax address selected (n) is in use by another twinax
device, where n represents the address selected by the user. If this
message is printed, the user must choose another address.
Changing a twinax address causes the 5250 ALLY to stop communication
on the twinax port. The 5250 ALLY will not do this if the port is currently
in use. The port must timeout before the 5250 ALLY will end
communication. When the address change takes place, the 5250 ALLY
will end communication on the address, configure the port for the new
address, and then reestablish communication.
To program this option:
!AGILE!01=00; Sets the address to 0
!AGILE!01=01; Sets the address to 1 (default)
!AGILE!01=02; Sets the address to 2
!AGILE!01=03; Sets the address to 3
!AGILE!01=04; Sets the address to 4
!AGILE!01=05; Sets the address to 5
!AGILE!01=06; Sets the address to 6
