6. Test the printer to ensure it prints from the MVS host
Test the printer by one of the following methods:
•
Send a job from the host through PSF to print on the IPS.
(Refer to your IPS
Guide to Configuring and Managing the
System
for printing procedures.)
•
Ping the printer from your MVS host to ensure MVS can
establish a connection with the TCP/IP-attached IPS.
Pinging the printer – MVS
To ping the printer from the MVS host, enter one of the following
commands:
•
In JES3:
At your MVS host, enter the following command at the
TSO prompt:
TSO PING
ip-address
•
In JES2:
Enter the following command from the System
Display and Search Facility (SDSF), menu 6:
ping
ip-address
ip-address
specifies the internet protocol (IP) address of the IPS
printer.
If the ping is successful:
Note:
A successful ping usually indicates that the MVS system can
communicate with the IPS. However, you could receive a successful
ping even if the IP address of the TCP/IP-attached printer is a
duplicate of another IP address.
If PSF is unable to establish a network connection with the TCP/IP-
attached IPS, or if PSF output for this printer prints elsewhere, follow
these steps to determine whether the IP address of the printer is
unique:
1. Power off the printer.
2. Wait at least five minutes for TCP/IP to clear the Address
Resolution Protocol (ARP) tables.
Note:
If your installation specified a longer interval on the
ARPAGE configuration statement in the TCP/IP profile, you may
need to wait longer than five minutes. (For information about the
ARPAGE statement, refer to the IBM TCP/IP MVS
Customization and Administration Guide.)
3. Enter the ping command again at the MVS system.
If you receive a successful response to the ping command this
time, it means there is a duplicate IP address. Consult your
network administrator.
Table E-9.
Example of a successful ping – MVS
EZA0458I Ping V3R1: Pinging host 9.99.12.33
(Use ATTN to interrupt)
EZA 0463I PING: Ping #1 response took 0.084 seconds.
Successes so far = 1.
