Placing HIP online

XEROX 4050/4090/4450/4650 LPS OPERATOR GUIDE
When you enter this command, you can specify one of the
following:
• 871—Identifies a host in an SNA/SDLC or BSC environment.
• DMR—Identifies a VAX/VMS host in a DDCMP environment.
• XNS—Identifies a network environment.
• XPF—Identifies an IBM host in an MVS/XA or an MVS/ESA
environment.
• XPS—Identifies Xerox Print Services (XPS) Manager as the
printer front end to other hosts. (This option is available in
XDDI only.)
If your LPS interfaces with only one host, then HIP automatically
performs this function each time it is loaded.
Follow these steps to change hosts:
1. Make sure HIP is loaded and offline.
Refer to the "Starting HIP" section above and "Taking HIP
offline" section later in this chapter, if you are uncertain how
to perform either task.
2. Enter HIP HOST, as described in the previous section, to
select a new mode.
If HIP is not offline or if the system is not idle, the command
is rejected, and one or more of the following messages
display:
HP2020 SELECTED HOST NOT PRESENT ON SYSTEM
HP2400 HIP INTERFACE MUST BE OFFLINE. ENTER HIP OFFLINE
HP7100 CANNOT CHANGE HOST WHILE JOBS ARE PENDING OR ACTIVE
For the system to receive files, you must place the interface
online. Enter HIP ONLINE [ALL]:
The ALL parameter specifies that both print and nonprint files are
accepted; otherwise, only print files are accepted. As print jobs
are received, they are entered into the HIP job queue before
being entered into the Queue Manager queue.
One of the following messages displays:
HP1210 HOST ONLINE. Accepting ALL jobs.
HP1220 HOST ONLINE. Accepting print jobs only.
HP2010 No HOST selected.
HP2030 ALL not allowed at current LOGON level.
HP0200 Failed to go ONLINE.
ONLINE ALL is accepted in logon level 2 and above for all hosts
except for XNS hosts. HIP is always in ONLINE ALL mode for
XNS hosts.
If the selected host is not online and responding, the following
message displays every 30 seconds until the host comes online
or the online request is terminated using HIP OFFLINE command:
HP1240 HOST not responding.
