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
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.Figure 2 BNC adapter

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.

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.
