TCP/IP TN3270E Printing

Configuring the
Mainframe host
The following procedures describe how to configure the AXIS
5470e/570/670e for SCS, 3270DS and IPDS printing, using TCP/IP
TN3270E.
This is achieved by establishing communication between the AXIS
5470e/570/670e and Mainframe host via a TN3270E server, using
the TCP/IP transport protocol for the SCS, 3270 and IPDS data
streams, as illustrated below:
Note:
IPDS is only available for AXIS 670e and AXIS 5470e units with the IPDS option
installed. Please refer to Product Model Summary on page 10
Configuring for TN3270E printing is described in four separate
stages:
• Configuring the IBM Mainframe Host system
• Configuring the AXIS 5470e/570/670e
• Configuring the TN3270E server
• Verifying the communication
Consult your TN3270E server documentation and make sure that the
appropriate VTAM host system definitions are set up for
mainframe-to-TN3270E server SNA communication.
