Connecting the 3240 to an AS/400

To connect a 3240 printer directly to an AS/400 or midrange computer, you
need:
•
a twinax adapter card.
•
a twinaxial cable equivalent to IBM part number 7362267 or 7362062.
The maximum cable length for the twinax interface is 5000 feet (1525
meters).
If you did not have the twinax adapter card installed at the factory, you can
install the field installable option (Intermec Part No. 056835) in the optional I/O
board port of your printer.
For help on cabling and communications, see the manual that comes with the
twinax adapter card.
Note: If you are using a midrange computer other than the AS/400, refer to your
system documentation for information on cabling and setting up communications.

Connecting the 3240 to a Mainframe

To connect a 3240 printer directly to an IBM mainframe, you need:
•
a coax adapter card.
•
a coaxial cable equivalent to IBM part number 2577672 or 1833108.
The maximum cable length allowed is 4920 feet (1500 meters). See the IBM
specification Installation and Assembly of Coaxial Cable and Accessories, part
number GA27-2805-4, for further information.
If you did not have the coax adapter card installed at the factory, you can install
the field installable option (Intermec Part No. 056836) in the optional I/O board
port of your printer.
For help on cabling and communications, see the manual that comes with your
coax adapter card.
