To use the BOS 30K with any IBM minicomputer or
mainframe, it is necessary to interface through some kind of
protocol converter. This may be one of two types of systems;
either an IBM compatible micro with an emulation card, or a
stand alone protocol converter such as is available from Black
Box Corp. in Pittsburgh, PA (i.e., model PQ-6 RO). In either
case the installation is very similar.
1. The protocol conversion device must be connected to
the IBM computer with the appropriate cable.
2. After deciding on a free work station address to be
used for the BOS 30K, the system configuration must be
altered to setup the work station address and port as an IBM
5256 printer.
3. The emulation system must be setup at the same
workstation address and must be setup for IBM Proprinter II
emulation.
For a system 36 installation, with IBM advanced
emulation, the following is the correct procedure to follow on
the PC:
A. Boot the PC with DOS
B. Running off the advanced emulation program
disk, type "Config DP5250.dat"
C. Select 2 Emulation sessions
D. Select the appropriate keyboard
E. Set workstation addresses for the two sessions,
as configured on the system 36
F. Set 5256 Printer Emulation
G. Select IBM Proprinter II
H. Save profile data and exit
4. A procedure must be written and run which sets the
printer port for the page length of 6 lines (BOS 30K with LCD
SETUP MENU to set up the ADDRESS SETUP to 6).
5. An RPG program will probably be necessary on the
system 36 to produce a data format which is "one-up" label
compatible.
6. You may now print address lists on your BOS 30K.
