Getting Started

Set the following items when first configuring the NIC for use with
an AS/400 running TN5250:

The IP address of the AS/400 you are planning to use.

Example: store tn dest d1prn as400 192.75.11.1

The device description or queue name you want built on the
AS/400 for the printer. This must be unique to the printer.

Example: store tn dest d1prn devicedesc MOCHA3812

Enable the printer to autmatically connect to the AS/400 when it
is first powered up or automatically reconnect if the original
connection is lost.

Example: store tn dest d1prn autoconnect

settings to take effect.

If you do not wish the printer to connect automatically when
powered up then leave the autoconnect disabled and control
the connection manually with the following command:
