AXIS 5570e User's Manual
This section describes how to configure the Axis Network Print Server for
printing SCS, 3270 and IPDS data streams using SNA and TCP/IP
transport protocols in the IBM Mainframe (zSeries) environment.
Proceed to the setup section that is relevant to your network
environment, as described in the table below:
Printing protocol Data streams
SCS
SNA 3270DS
IPDS
SCS
TN3270E (TCP/IP) 3270DS
IPDS
PPR/PPD (TCP/IP) IPDS
Notes:
• IPDS is only available for print server models with the IPDS option installed.
• SNA is only available for print server models with the SNA option installed.
Please refer to "Protocols and Datastreams" on page 9.
If you intend to operate your Axis Network Print Server in a multi-
protocol environment, you should also proceed to the other relevant
sections in this manual.
The Axis Network Print Server supports printing of SCS, 3270 and IPDS
data streams via the SNA transport protocol.
The Axis Network Print Server must be set up to emulate an IBM 3174 (3174 CU mode) in the
Mainframe/VTAM environment.
Configuring for SNA printing in 3174 CU Mode is described in three
separate stages:
• Configuring the IBM Mainframe Host system
• Configuring the Axis Network Print Server
• Verifying the communication
