Verifying the
Communication Link
The easiest way to test the communication is by sending a print job to the
Axis Network Print Server. If there are problems, press the test button
once to print the test page where you can find the present SNA link
status.
Procedures
1. Power on the Print Server and wait for 2 minutes.
2. Press the test button once to print a test page and make sure that the SNA
status line is defined as either:
•
Idle
•
Actv
•
LU-1
•
LU-3
Note:
The Axis Network Print Server is now ready for use in the SNA
environment.
TCP/IP TN3270E Printing
The following procedures describe how to configure the Axis Network
Print Server for SCS, 3270DS and IPDS printing, using TCP/IP TN3270E.
This is achieved by establishing communication between the Axis
Network Print Server and Mainframe host via a TN3270E server, using the
TCP/IP transport protocol for the SCS, 3270 and IPDS data streams, as
illustrated below:
In the Configuration Wizard, you can choose between PCL or PostScript printing. Choose the
printer language that corresponds to your printer.
Please refer to the Parameter List and FAQ on the Axis Web site, if the status line indicates
that the
SNA link is not active
.
IPDS is only available for print server models with the IPDS option installed. Please refer to
“Protocols and Datastreams”
