Configuring the

Host System
Before you begin
Procedures
Important:
These procedures are compulsory for printing in the IBM Mainframe
environment.
Configuring the host system requires you to do the following:
• Make sure that a VTAM Logon-mode entry is available for your
AXIS 5470e.
• Create the VTAM Definition for the Major Node where the Print
Server definition is to be placed.
Make note of the AXIS 5470e serial number that is found on the
backside label of the print server.
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 5470e. You will instead be working with the gateway VTAM definitions.
Since the AXIS 5470e 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.
1. Define a VTAM Major Node Definition where the Print
Server definitions will be placed. Using a channel attached 3174
as a gateway to the host, this definition is typically defined as a
Local Major Node. If you are using a remotely attached
gateway via a 37X5 communications controller or a LAN
attached 3172, you will be working with a Switched Major
Node definition.
