The last step in the installation procedure is to connect your printer to
the IBM Coax or Twinax host.
Once again, make sure that the rear panel Coax/Twinax switch is in
the correct position. The current mode is shown under the AUX IO
INTERFACE title on the Self Test page.
For 5250/Twinax mode:
1. Switch off the printer.
2. Find a free device address
on the Twinax port. The
selected address must be
configured for an IBM 3816
printer.
3. Set the rotary switch to the
selected device address.
4. Connect the Axis T-cable
bar to the twinax cables.
Don't forget to notify your
system operator before
breaking the twinax line!
5. Connect the T-cable to the
AXIS HP MIO board.
6. Switch on the printer.
The SYSTEM indicator will flash for a few seconds, and should then
remain lit showing that contact with the IBM system is established.
You can verify the connection by making a local copy printout from
your system.
The installation procedure is now completed. Your printer is ready for
permanent use, and will not require any user intervention during
normal operation.
For 3270/Coax mode:
1. Switch off the printer.
2. Find a free printer port on
the control unit. The selected
port must be configured for an
LU-1 or LU-3 printer.
3. Connect a coax cable
between the control unit and
the AXIS HP MIO board.
4. Switch on the printer.
