•
There is proper connectivity to the Multi-station Access Unit
(MAU), if one is being used.
•
The IP address used to define the printer in PSF is unique in
the TCP/IP network.
•
The IP address of the AS/400 system is unique. If not, consult
your network administrator to resolve the address problem.
Should you notice any printer performance problems—e.g.,
throughput speed degradation, check the areas listed in the following
table.
Table E-20. Components to check for printer performance
LAN If the printer is on a LAN that also has a large number of other
devices attached to it, the high levels of traffic on the LAN can
cause printer speed degradation. Consider moving the printer to
a LAN that does not have so much activity on it.
AS/400 to LAN If the speed of the link connecting the LAN with the printer
attachment attached to the AS/400 system is slow, this could be a
bottleneck. Review your network configuration diagrams to look
for any potential bottlenecks.
The following IBM documents, referenced in this section, can provide
additional information on AS/400-to-IPDS printer connectivity.
