When using a concentrator gateway between the host and your print server, it is not necessary to define separate VTAM Major Node and PU definitions for the Axis Network Print Server. You will instead be working with the gateway VTAM definitions. Since the Axis Network Print Server will appear to the host as one or several LU's attached to the gateway PU, you need only add LU definitions to the gateway major node definition and then proceed to item 3 below.
Page 37
The examples below are based on samples given in VTAM Customization (IBM part no: SC23-0112), with some changes to optimize use for Axis Network Print Server. VTAM for MVS is assumed, although the configuration for VM and VSE is similar.
Page 38
The example below shows how the print server PU, PATH, and LU Node Definitions definitions may be coded in a switched major node definition. * PU definition * E07xxxxxx is the node ID set in Axis Network Print Server. PU5570e1 PUADDR=04, PUTYPE=2,...
Page 39
In the path definition, PATH DIALNO should be comprised with its first two digits equal to the place holder, the next two set to the SAP and the remaining twelve digits set to the Axis Network Print Server Ethernet or Node address. By default the Ethernet/Node address is identical to the Axis Network Print Server serial number.
