2.3.2Booting and Rebooting the Controller
The Controller is booted from the System diskette. Diagnostics are automatically executed
when power is applied and will also run if either OS or UTIL front-panel keys are depressed.
If an error occurs, a code is displayed on the front panel.
1.
Insert the System diskette in the drive and power on the Controller (the power switch
is at the back).
2.
The Controller runs a diagnostics self-test program and loads the operating system
from the diskette. This operation lasts approximately 1 minute. Once loaded
correctly, *3494*, *3494 E* (for Ethernet) or *3494 T* (for Token-Ring) appears on
the character display.
3.
To reload the system, simply ensure that the System diskette is in the drive and
press the OS key on the front panel.
NOTE: Do not remove the diskette while the operating system is being loaded.
2.4To Begin the Configuration
The 3494 controller enables Communication between the workstations and AS/400 hosts,
using SDLC, X.25 Token-Ring or Ethernet protocols. In order to establish communication
between the controller and AS/400, both controller and AS/400 attributes must be
configured to match. The configuration is performed first on the AS/400 side and then on
the controller side from the setup menu.
The following AS/400 and controller attributes must be defined:
a. Network.
b. Line description.
c. Advanced program-to-program communication (APPC) Controller description
d. Remote workstation (RWS) Controller description.
e. System mode description.
Device descriptions.
The Controller Setup menus are used to perform the controller configuration. Setup menu
access and configuration procedures are described in the following section.
