System Configuration
Configuring the 1486A/G/P and Printer on a System/36
You can configure the System/36 for the attachment of the 1486A/G/P through auto-
configuration or by using the CNFIGSSP command.
To use autoconfiguration, refer to the System/36 user’s manual. Before performing
autoconfiguration, be sure to obtain the following information from the system operator:
• Terminal mode of operation.
• Keyboard type (either 122-key or 102-key).
• Printer device type (either 4214, 5256, or 5219).
Configuring a Locally Attached Display
Follow the instructions for the operating system.
Note: On the System/36, 132-column support is not available for the 1486A/G/P.

Printer Model 2 (Device Code EA), a 5256 Printer Model 2 (Device Code AB), or a
