AFP SUMMARY

TCP/IP connection: Token Ring

For TCP/IP connectivity via a Token Ring, the mainframe is connected to a 3174 or 3745 IBM control unit. The control unit is connected to a modular access unit (MAU), which acts as the Token Ring. The MAU connects the router, workstations, and printers to the Token Ring.

Each device on the Token Ring (mainframe, control unit, router, workstation, printer) must have a Token Ring card installed in the device.

AS/400 connections

The AS/400 Host is similar to the larger mainframe host types. On this platform, the PSF control functions are IPDS emitters only. PSF/ 400 accepts MO:DCA-P data streams, as well as SNA Character String (SCS) data streams with Data Description Specification (DDS), IPDS, and line data. It outputs only IPDS data streams.

The Advanced Function Printing Utilities (AFPU) allow you to create formatting objects called Printout Format Definition (PFD). AFPU uses PFD objects as formatting resources when printing a database file. Note that a PFD is not the same as a page definition.

The primary application software programs used by PSF/400 are

OfficeVision/400 and WordPerfect/400. You can also use the AFP

Print Suite which contains tools for creating AFP applications on the

AS/400. These tools are:

Advanced Print Utility (APU)

PPFA for AS/400
