SCS/TNe MENU options settings can be changed and saved in three ways: · Use the control panel ("Understanding the Control Panel" on page 9 - which also contains all basic information on types of settings). Work with the settings remotely using a browser ("Remote Configuration Using a Browser" on page 23 ff.) Work with the settings remotely using IDB option strings (see "IDB Basics" on page 246 ff. and "Additional TN5250e Printer Commands Using IDB" on page 258 ff). Using IDB in this way is a highly technical process used only in connection with configurations and re-configurations. · · Detailed, specialized listings and descriptions of option settings can be found in: "Operations Reference - TN3270E SETUP" on page 83 and "Operations Reference - TN5250E SETUP" on page 153. Important Configuration Basics: Introduction 6 All of these descriptions include the available options and their values. What are "IDB Options", "IDB events etc.? On many of the descriptions you may notice the use of terms like IDB events, IDB options, IDB values, IDB User Parameters, IDB Language, etc. Refer to "IDB Basics" on page 246 for additional information. Note that in most cases, only technical specialists need to understand and use IDBs. Setup Options Setup Options vs. Printer Setup Options Changes to the option settings under the SCS/TNe MENU will only affect the printing of SCS jobs received through a LAN connection. These changes will not affect SCS jobs received through a Coax or Twinax Adapter for SCS, nor will they affect IPDS, PostScriptTM or PCLTM jobs. The SCS/TNe Emulation user default settings remain in effect until you save new settings or restore the factory defaults by using one of the SCSxxxx Defaults options under MENU/Menus > Option Card Menu > SCS/TNe MENU > TNxxxE STEUP > TEST OPTIONS. xxxx stands for 3270 or 5250. Important Configuration Basics: What are "IDB Options", "IDB events etc.? 7 IMPORTANT: Restoring the factory defaults using the printer MENU/Menus > Settings > Utilities Menu > Restore Defaults does not affect the SCS/TNe MENU settings. Settings you choose in the SCS print job may override the user default settings displayed in the printer operator panel. This guide discusses setting up the SCS/TNe Emulation and changing the SCS/TNe Emulation settings. Printer Setup Options Changes to printer settings under the various printer menus, such as Paper Menu and Settings, will affect the way PostScript and PCL jobs are printed. Many of these printer settings will also affect SCS/ TNe jobs. Important Configuration Basics: Setup Options vs. Printer Setup Options 8 Understanding the Control Panel Introduction This chapter introduces the SCS/TNe MENU options as well as illustrating how how the control panel works. Printers and MFPs differ, so both operator panels on printers and touch screens on MFPs are illustrated here. If you are familiar with the use of the control panel, skip this chapter, but we recommend familiarizing yourself with the contents of "Remote Configuration Using a Browser" on page 23 before proceeding with installation setups. Descriptions of how to carry out installation setups are found in: "Installation Setup for Mainframe Users" on page 27 ff. and "Installation Setup for AS/400 and iSeries Users" on page 53 ff. Detailed, specialized listings and descriptions of option settings are found in: "Operations Reference - TN3270E SETUP" on page 83 and "Operations Reference - TN5250E SETUP" on page 153. All descriptions include the available options and their values.

For example, Menus > SCS/TNE Menu > TN3270e Setup > Network Setup > Server Info > IP Address. For these, use the Keyboard as described in "Changing a Text String" on page 21. Understanding the Operator Panel: MFP Touch Screen 22 Remote Configuration Using a Browser Introduction The Card for IPDS and SCS/TNe includes an http user interface. You can use a browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape, to remotely configure most SCS/TNe settings. The only requirement is that the printers are attached to a LAN using a Standard Network port or MarkNet internal print server. Remote configuration is especially useful during printer installation to set all of the SCS/TNe options to the values recommended by your system administrator. At a later time, any necessary changes can be made on each printer, either from a browser or via the operator panel. All option values which may be changed remotely will be displayed in the browser interface. Simply change the option value settings desired and select Submit.This sends the new option value settings to the printer. IMPORTANT: Unless otherwise stated, the term printer in this manual refers to both printers and MFPs. How Remote Configuration Works Remote Configuration Using a Browser: Introduction 23 These new option value settings are saved in the printer and will become active when the next SCS/TNe session is started. If new option value settings are submitted during an SCS/TNe session, the new option value settings will not be used until the current SCS/TNe session ends and a new SCS/TNe session is established. How to Use the Browser Interface To access and change SCS/TNe option settings through your browser: 1 Access the printer web page by typing the IP address of its print server as the URL. 2 Select Configuration. 3 Select SCS/TNE Settings. 4 Select the TNe Common menu 5 Disconnect all sessions by clicking on the Execute button next to the Disconnect Ses item. 6 The browser display returns to SCS/TNe Settings. 7 Check to be sure that all sessions have been disconnected. Click on each TNxxxx Connection Status menu item to check the status of each session. Remote Configuration Using A Browser: How to Use the Browser Interface 24 If a session has not been disconnected, check to see if jobs are being received on this session. Wait for the jobs to finish printing or end the session from the host. If no jobs are printing, you may need to end and reset the session at the host. 8 Return to SCS/TNe Settings. 9 Select one of the TN3270E or TN5250E menus. 10 All option values which may be changed remotely will be displayed. Change option settings as desired. 11 Select the Submit button at the bottom of the page. The Submit button sends the new values to the printer. These values are saved in the printer and will become active when the next session is started. 12 The browser will then display a confirmation that settings have been submitted. 13 Repeat with the other TN3270E or TN5250E menus as desired. 14 Select the TNe Common menu. 15 Reset all sessions by clicking on the Execute button next to the Reset TN Sess item. Remote Configuration Using A Browser: How to Use the Browser Interface 25 16 The SCS/TNe emulation will attempt to reconnect to the host. 17 Check to be sure that all sessions have been reconnected. Click on each TNxxxx Connection Status menu item to check the status of each session. If all configured sessions have not been established within 90 seconds, you may need to end and reset the sessions at the host and repeat steps 14 - 16. On each TN menu, you will see a Reset Form button at the bottom of the page, next to the Submit button. If you have entered values in the page without submitting, and decide to start all over again, click Reset Form. The page will then display the values that were current when you opened the particular TN page. Remote Configuration Using A Browser: How to Use the Browser Interface 26 Installation Setup for Mainframe Users Introduction IMPORTANT: Tasks may be completed in any order but all tasks must be completed to begin printing. This chapter applies to LAN-attached Mainframe users printing directly or via an SNA Server. (AS/400 and iSeries users refer to "Installation Setup for AS/400 and iSeries Users" on page 53.) Tasks numbered #A are unique for printing directly from a Mainframe. Tasks numbered #B are unique for printing via a SNA Server. Before beginning the installation tasks, it is recommended that you obtain the latest version of the MarkNet internal print server firmware as well as the latest SCS/TNe publications and Card for IPDS and SCS/TNe code from the internet sites listed in "Support" on page 4.

Refer also to IBM books such as the IBM book OS/390 eNetwork Communications Server V2R5, TCP/IP Implementation Guide, Volume 1: Configuration and Routing (document no. SG24-5227-00). The printer with the SCS/TNe Emulation is defined to the Telnet server in much the same way as a display LU. Instead of the LUGROUP and LUMAP commands, the PRTGROUP and PRTMAP commands are used. It is important to observe the one-to-one mapping of display LUs to printer LUs. This means that a single display LU is mapped to a single printer LU or a display LU group is mapped to a printer LU group. Each group must have the same number of LUs. The example below shows how the VTAM section of the TCP/IP PROFILE data-set can be defined.

NOTE: You may also direct a printer device name to the printer IP address using PRTMAP statement as follows: PRTMAP PRT1 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (where PRT1 = printer and xxx = printer IP address) Mainframe Installation Setup: Task 2A - Configuring a Host For TN3270e Printing 37 Task 2B Configuring an SNA Server For TN3270e Printing IMPORTANT: The TN3270e components have to be installed in order to be able to configure the LU printer connection on the SNA gateway or router. A number of different vendors provide SNA gateways and routers. The procedure in this section shows how to set up a Microsoft SNA Server. It does therefore not apply to all SNA gateways or routers. However, the parameters that are configured should be easy to recognize. In the procedure below it is assumed that Microsoft SNA Server 3.0 Manager is running and that a connection has been selected. To set up a LU printer connection 1 Choose Insert > 3270 > Application LU (LUA). This opens the 3270 LU Properties box. Mainframe Installation Setup: Task 2B - Configuring an SNA Server For TN3270e Printing 38 2 Fill in the LU Number and the LU Name. The LU Number must match that on the host. If you do not know the LU Number, ask your system administrator. Finish by pressing the |OK| button. 3 Right-click the connection created in the previous step. Choose Assign To > TN3270 Service on > Name-of-SNAServer to assign the connection to the SNA server. Rightclick the new connection again and choose Properties. 4 Left-click the TN3270 tab. Mark Specific Printer and the IBM3287-1 terminal name. 5 Click the |OK| button to finish. Mainframe Installation Setup: Task 2B - Configuring an SNA Server For TN3270e Printing 39 Task 3 Configuring a Print Server IMPORTANT: The SCS/TNe Emulation can only receive jobs through a single printer server. Moving the selected print server or inserting a new print server may cause a loss of SCS/TNe print capability. SCS/TNe Emulation printing requires a MarkNet internal print server or a Standard Network port on the printer. A. To check the installed print server firmware version 1 From a Ready state touch Menus. 2 Touch Reports. 3 Scroll until one or more of the following appears. If none of these appear, then you do not have a Standard Network or internal print server installed. a If Network Setup Page appears, touch it. This prints the Standard Network Card menu settings page. b If Network # Setup Page appears, touch it. This prints a settings page for the internal print server in slot #, where # is a number representing the slot in which the print server is installed. Mainframe Installation Setup: Task 3 -Configuring a Print Server 40 B. Configuring the Print Server To enable SCS printing, several print server settings may need to be changed. You can make these changes from the printer operator panel. 1 Set NPA Mode to Auto. Select Menus > Network/Ports. Select the print server to be used for SCS printing, for example Standard Network, Network 1, or Network 2. Locate NPA Mode and scroll to the Auto setting. Touch Submit to save. This setting will ensure that the printer's LAN connection will detect the Card. 2 Set the Network Job Timeout. This timeout is used by all print servers. Select Menus > Settings > General Settings> Timeouts > Network Job Timeout. Scroll down to 0. Touch Submit to save. Option Value Description Network Job 0 Timeout This is the recommended setting and corresponds to "disabled". Other settings may cause communication problems. A setting of "0" allows the host or SNA server timeout values to control when print jobs from another protocol, interface, server, or host can be started.

The option setting values found in the table are described in section "NETWORK SETUP> SERVER INFO Menu: Options Overview" on page 93. SERVER INFO Option Default Value Recommended Value Comments Name / IP Address IP Address Use IP Address Check with your system administrator whether you need to specify the specific IP address or the name of the host which the printer will contact to receive SCS jobs. The TNe Server's IP In order to make a connection to the mainframe host, an IP address address must be entered or a hostname defined. If you selected Use IP Address in the Name / IP Address option, enter the appropriate IP Address here. (This option is not used if you selected Use Hostname). A hostname to look In order to make a connection to the mainframe host, an IP up on a DNS server: address must be entered or a hostname defined. (up to 16 characters) If you selected Use Hostname in the Name / IP Address option, enter the appropriate hostname here. (This option is not used if you selected Use IP Address.) 23 Check with your system administrator to determine whether another TCP port number is defined for the Telnet service. 0.0.0.0 Hostname [undefined] TN Server Port 23 Mainframe Installation Setup: Task 5 - Configuring the SCS/TNe Emulation 46 SERVER INFO Option Default Value Recommended Value Comments LU Name [undefined] Your LU name Check with your system administrator for the correct name. (up to 10 characters) This name must be defined on the host or SNA Server. Please note! Some hosts and servers only recognize uppercase LU Names. Device Type Specific Specific Telnet NOP or None Check with your system administrator for the correct setting. The device type must be defined on the host. Set this to a signal type recognized by the host. Check with your system administrator. If the host sends signals to keep the session active, then the setting of this option is unimportant. It is recommended to set it to None (= disabled). Set this to a value smaller than the session's inactivity timeout value defined on the host. The host parameter name is KEEPALIVE OPTIONS. It resides in the host IP profile dataset: SYS1.TCPPARMS(PROFILE). This setting is not used if the Keep Alive Type is set to None. Keep Alive Type Telnet NOP Keep Alive Time 45 seconds 45 seconds (1-3200 seconds) 3 Set Print Active to Yes.

Scroll to Reset TN Ses and touch Submit. Touch Home to exit the menus. Wait approximately one minute. If all values are set correctly, this should allow enough time for the SCS/TNe Emulation and host to communicate and change the Connect Status from Print Inactive to another status (there are examples of Connect Status messages on page 90. Mainframe users should continue with Task 6A. SNA Server users should continue with Task 6B. Mainframe Installation Setup: Task 5 - Configuring the SCS/TNe Emulation 48 Task 6A Verifying the Mainframe Connection Send a job to the printer for which you want to verify the connection. If the jobs fails to print correctly, the most common problems can be found through one or more of the following actions: 1 Check the TN3270E Connection Status (see page 90) From the Operator Panel: Display the TN3270E Connect Status by selecting Menus > Option Card Menu >SCS/TNe MENU > TN3270E SETUP > NETWORK SETUP > Connect Status. Through the http (browser) user interface: Connect to the print server by entering the print server address as the URL. When the print server display appears, click Configuration and then SCS/TNe Settings. Choose TN3270E Connection Status. 2 Check the print menu page to be sure all option values are set as defined by your system administrator.
