AS/400 Configuration,
TN5250
Setting Up TN5250 Print Queues On AS/400
Start with V3R7 or later and the most recent PTF level. The AS/400
should have tcpip installed, be fully configured, and functional. To
set up the TN5250 print queues, do the following:
1. Make sure the AS/400 has sufficient resources to add
additional virtual devices.
2. Establish the IP value (not the dns name) of the AS/400.
3. Set the IP, subnet mask, and default router on the NIC adapter.
4. Use a telnet session or web browser session to configure three
items per dest (logical NIC queue) for use as a logical network
connection to the AS/400.
NOTE: The three values (i.e., 192.168.168.34) represent the
AS/400 IP in dotted notation and are the entries for the
AS/400.
The newly created TN5250 device/queue (i.e. pallet form, first
chair is alpha, 10 char. max) assumes the new name
“devicedesc.”
5. Determine whether or not to autoconnect (initiate connection
on power up or through NIC reset) the TN5250 device/queue.
