Verifying the Communication Link

1. Type WRKCFGSTS *CTL xxxx* on the AS/400 command line (xxxx equals the first four
characters of the AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e LU Name). The following items are displayed:
• One APPC controller with the same name as the AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e LU Name.
• One APPC device with the same name as the AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e LU Name, one
controlling session (QRMTWSC) and the currently active (default = 1) printer
sessions(QRMTWSC).
• One twinax controller named xxxxxRMT, where xxxxx is the first five characters of the
AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e LU Name.
• One twinax printer device named xxxxPRT0z where xxxx is the first four characters of
the AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e LU Name and z is the printer device number.
The status of all items should now be ACTIVE or VARIED ON.
2. Type STRPRTWTR xxxxPRT0z on the AS/400 command line, where xxxxPRT0z is the
printer device name. This will start the writer for this printer device.
3. Direct a printout to this printer device to check the integrity of the communication link.
4. Press the AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e test button once to print a test page. Ensure that the SNA
