IBM Mainframe
SNA Printing
Important! ❏ The AXIS 570/670 must be set up to emulate an IBM 3174
(3174 CU mode) in the Mainframe/VTAM environment.
The AXIS 570/670 supports printing of SCS, 3270 and IPDS data
streams via the SNA transport protocol.
Note: ❏ IPDS data streams are only supported by the AXIS 570e and
AXIS 670e models.
Configuring for SNA printing in 3174 CU Mode is described in three
separate stages:
• Configuring the IBM Mainframe Host system
• Configuring the AXIS 570/670
• Verifying the communication
Configuring the
Mainframe
Host System
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 570/670.
• Create the VTAM Definition for the Major Node where the Print
Server definition is to be placed.
Note: ❏ Although it is possible to define several logical units on the host
system the AXIS 570/670 will only print one SNA job at a time.
SNA jobs are held in a print queue within the AXIS 570/670 and
are processed on a first-come-first-serve basis.
Before you begin ❏ Make note of the AXIS 570/670 serial number that is found on
the underside label of the unit.
