AS/400 parameters
This section describes the process of configuring an AS/400 system
to communicate and print on an IPS using TCP/IP. This process is
applicable to either a Token Ring or an Ethernet LAN.
This information applies to all AS/400 RISC models with OS/400
V3R7 (or higher) installed. Some references are made to OS/400
V3R2 installed CISC models.
Software prerequisites AS/400
The following prerequisite software packages must be installed on
your host system before you begin the configuration process
described in the following pages. Ensure that you are using the
manuals for the proper software releases.
Network configurations AS/400
The IPS printer is supported in all the following types of AS/400
configurations, provided that the software prerequisites are installed.
Basic configuration in which the AS/400 is attached to a LAN
using either a Token Ring or Ethernet network adapter card
Remote LAN environment in which there are data
communication links between the AS/400 and the LAN-
attached controller
Configurations in which the LAN with the printer attached is
connected to the host-attached controller using LAN devices
such as routers.
Note: There may be printer performance and throughput
implications with some of these configurations. It is recommended
that your network management group be involved with planning this
installation.
