Testing the IP Connection

Make sure that the print server will be recognized in the network by
the AS/400/iSeries.
Proceed as follows:
1. Enter the following command into an OS/400 command line:
PING' <IP address or host name of the print server>'
The result of the connection will be displayed.
The IP address or the host name must be put in single quotation

If a connection cannot be achieved, check the network cabling and
the IP connection of the print server from a PC. Make sure that the
required TCP servers are started on the AS/400/iSeries.
