Configuring with ADDTCPIFC
103
The following three parameters must be specified:
Line Description (LIND)
The line description name is the user's name for the AS/400
network printer. This name must be identical to the name entered
when the TCP/IP is configured on the AS/400.
Resource Name (RSRCNAME)
The system-assigned name for the interface (for example, LIN041).
SSAP
When *CALC is used, the values of “12” and “AA” are entered
automatically as defaults. Verify that those SSAP values have not
been changed.
Configuring AS/400 for ASCII using TCP/IP
The next step is to configure the interface on the AS/400 for
TCP/IP.
NOTE: The AS/400 interface is not the PrintNet. Do not set the AS/
400 interface address to the same address as the PrintNet
IP address. Also, do not add the PrintNet to the AS/400
TCP/IP interface list.
Configuring with ADDTCPIFC
ADDTCPIFC is used to add a TCP/IP interface to the AS/400. This
step configures the AS/400 for attachments to a TCP/IP network.
At the AS/400 command line, enter the following command:
ADDTCPIFC INTNETADR ('9.99.15.188') LIND(ETHLAN)
SUBNETMASK('255.255.255.0')
Your completed screen should look like Figure 27.
