Token Ring TCP/IP Attachment Information

Table 19 lists all configuration items, what each item is used for, and the allowable

value options for each item. The factory-set default values are underlined.

Table 19. Token Ring TCP/IP Attachment Items

Configuration Item

Description

Value Options

Token Ring TCP/IP

Installed

Specifies if the Token Ring adapter is installed.

Yes or No

TCP Port

Specifies the TCP socket address of the attachment.
Notes:

1.

Only one address is required for operating a simplex

system.

2.

If your installation runs in dual simplex and duplex

mode, specify the same TCP Port value for duplex

mode as you do for Printer 1 in dual simplex mode.

(IBM recommends using the default value of 5001.)

Also, make sure you specify a unique value for

Printer 2 in simplex mode; Printer 1 and Printer 2

cannot use the same value. (If you use the default

value of 5001, for Printer 1, IBM recommends using

5002 as the value for Printer 2.)

3.

The TCP Port numbers specified in the printer

configuration must match the PORT numbers

assigned in the host PSF system.

4.

Because Printer 1 in a dual simplex system and the

complete system in duplex system share a common

port number, operational procedures must be defined

to distinguish between duplex and dual simplex

printing. The easiest way to manage this is to assign

separate queues for duplex versus dual simplex

output (for PSF/2 and PSF/6000), and to assign at

least a unique job class for duplex jobs (for S/390 host

PSF systems).

5001 to 65536.

IP Address

Specifies the Internet protocol (IP) address of the printer

in dotted decimal format. Get this value from your LAN

administrator. This value must match the IP address

value in the host PSF configuration.

This value is unique to a duplex system, and is the same

regardless of whether the printer is in duplex or

dual-simplex mode.

X.X.X.X where X ≤ 255.

Subnet Mask

Specifies the mask that identifies the local subnet in

dotted decimal format. Get this value from your LAN

administrator. If you do not have a local subnet, leave

this field blank.

X.X.X.X where X ≤ 255

Default Gateway

Address

Specifies the IP address of the default gateway in dotted

decimal format. Get this value from your LAN

administrator.

X.X.X.X where X ≤ 255

MTU Size

Specifies the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) –

maximum allowable length of IP packets.

60 to 4096

Hardware address

Specifies the TCP/IP Token Ring adapter ROM address.

This address cannot be changed.
