Configuring the
Axis Network Print
Server
Important:
40
If the LAN media at the remote (Print Server) location differs from that at the host location
(e.g. Remote LAN = Ethernet and Host LAN = Token Ring), the MAC address definitions must
be modified, as outlined below:
Print Server Modifications:
The Axis Network Print Server Host MAC address (H1_MAC_ADDR) must be bit-order reversed
for each byte,
e.g. if the host address is 08005AB77D49 the converted address will be 10005AEDBE92
Host Modifications:
The required Host modifications are dependent upon the VTAM definition for the Major Node
where the Print Server definition is placed.
Case 1:
VTAM Major Node definition is a Switched Major Node.
The MAC address of the Axis Network Print Server must be bit-order reversed in the PATH
entry. An Axis Network Print Server with a MAC/node address of 00408C1B06D4 will be
defined using the MAC/node address 000231D8602B as follows:
Case 2:
VTAM Major Node definition is a Local Major Node.
When using a channel attached controller as gateway to the host, the MAC address of the
Axis Network Print Server is configured in the gateway. The address must be reversed, as in
case 1 above.
To perform the instructions presented in this section, you should first
assign an IP address to your Axis Network Print Server using one of the
methods presented in Setting the IP Address, on page 15.
The purpose of the configuration of the Axis Network Print Server is to
emulate a LAN attached IBM 3174 Control Unit running SNA PU2.0.
Follow the instructions below to configure the Axis Network Print Server
using a Web browser:
1. Start a Web browser, e.g. Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator.
2. Enter the IP address or the host name of the Axis Network Print Server in
the location field and press the Enter key on your keyboard. The internal Web
pages of the Axis Network Print Server will appear.
To protect the Admin pages and the Configuration Wizard from unauthorized use, enter a
password (default Pass) in the Root Password field under Admin | General Settings.
3. Click the Configuration Wizard for IBM sessions button.
4. Click the Add Session button. This will start the Configuration Wizard
which is a step-by-step guide through the required configuration settings.
Notes for SCS printing:
• In the Configuration Wizard's IBM Printer Emulation window, 38xx is the value used for
LaserWriter printers and all other values are used for matrix printers.
• In the Configuration Wizard Printer Driver window, PCL is used for LaserWriter printers, all
other values apply to matrix printers.
