AS/400 Environment
Configuring AS/400 for ASCII (TCP/IP protocol)
Configuring with ADDTCPIFC
ADDTCPIFC is used to add a TCP/IP interface to AS/400. This step configures the AS/400 for connection to a
TCP/IP
1. At the AS/400 command line, enter the following command:
ADDTCPIFC
INTNETADR('127.000.000.000')LIND(ETHLAN)
SUBNETMASK ('255.255.254.000')
This screen should look like the following one:
Internet address
127.000.000.000.
…………………………….. :
Subnet Mask
255.255.254.000.
…………………………….. :
Line
ETHLINE
…………………………….. :
To specify the IP Address and the Subnet Mask, see the values set in the LAN Configuration parameters.
Configuring a Router Definition with ADDTCPRTE
If necessary, use the ADDTCPRTE command to create a route definition.
This is required if the printer is somewhere other than a local segment.
Configuring a Local Domain and Host Name
The AS/400 print commands require a local name and host name. If you have already configured LAN attached
TCP/IP printers on the AS/400 system, you will have a local domain name and hostname configured on the
system. To configure the local domain, you will run the CFGTCO command.
Configuring a TCP/IP Host Table Entry
Although it is optional to create a TCP/IP host table entry, it is suggested that you take this step.
Add the AS/400 name and the LAN IP address to the "Host Table Entries".
Configuring AS/400 for Printing
The procedure for configuring an AS/400 for printing requires that you:
1. Setup the printing capability
2. Verify the setup with a print job
In order to accomplish this configuration, you need the following information:
a. Remote Printer Queue Name. Set for any of ‘pr1’ through ‘pr4’.
The Remote Printer Queue name must be all lower case.
b) IP Address
