Configuring the
AXIS 570/670
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 570/670 must be bit-order
reversed in the PATH entry. An AXIS 570 with a MAC/node
address of 00408C1B06D4 will be defined using the
MAC/node address 000231D8602B as follows:
PA5701 PATH DIALNO=0104000231D8602B,
GID=1, PID=1, GRPNM=gggggg
• 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 570/670 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 570/670 using one of the methods
presented in Assigning an IP address, on page 36.
Note: If your network does not support the TCP/IP protocol suite, you
can still configure the AXIS 570/670 using the AXIS NetPilot
installation tool. Appropriate instructions are available in the
AXIS NetPilot online help.
The purpose of the configuration of the 570/670 is to emulate a LAN
attached IBM 3174 Control Unit running SNA PU2.0.
