IPDS Printer and Host Setup Guide MVS Coax Printing Using the Adapter for SCS
Step 2 Set the Adapter for SCS Coax Timeout
The Coax Timeout value specifies the amount of time the printer Adapter for SCS will wait before closing the
connection to the host and allowing non-IPDS jobs to print. The default is "0" seconds (disabled). This allows
the host to control when the connection is disconnected.
"0" (disabled) is the recommended value. If you choose to use the default value, go to Step 3.
Otherwise, specify how many seconds the adapter will wait before closing the connection to the host. The max-
imum value is 255.
1 Use the control panel MENU as described in Step
MENU 2) > SCS Options > MISC SETTINGS > Coax Timeout.
2 Use the navigation buttons to scroll the display to the desired value - or use the numeric buttons to enter a
value.
3 Save the value and exit to the Ready page.
Note: The Option Card Menu > IPDS MENU > EMULATION > IPDS Timeout value is not active when the
printer is connected to a host through an Adapter for SCS card. The IPDS timeout is controlled by the
Coax Timeout value on the Adapter for SCS card.
Step 3 Verify the Adapter for SCS configuration
To verify the Adapter for SCS configuration, print a status page. Select Option Card Menu > SCS MENU 1 (or
SCS MENU 2) > TEST OPTIONS > SCS Status Page > Print. On the upper right-hand corner is a status for
IPDS Option where you can see if IPDS is activated.
Additional Information
