Coax Connection
To connect the coax line from the cluster
controller to the IBM 6400 printer, you must
use the supplied BNC Adapter (P/N#
08H7968).
Connect the BNC Adapter to the "HOST"
connector port on the Multi–Platform
Interface Feature I/O. (See
Figure 2
)
Once you have securely connected the
adapter, connect the coax line to the coax
connector on the end of the adapter.
Before powering on the printer, it must be
defined to the host. For additional
information on defining the printer in the
S/370 and S/390 environments, refer to
Appendix A of this manual.
Power on the printer. At this point, the
SYNC LED indicating line activity will be on
if there is activity on the coax line. (See
page 75 for the location of the SYNC LED)
Send the printer a screen dump from a
terminal. If successful, send the printer a
print job from the host. In some systems,
the printer may not be configured for local
screen dumps. When the printer receives a
job from the host, the SYS LED will light
indicating a job in progress.
important
The printer uses the 3270 data stream
format when connected via coax through the
MPI. The MPI supports LU0 (DSC), LU1
(SCS) and LU3 (DSE) types only.
