Preface

January 1997

This manual covers the installation and configuration of the ida ReRouter.

The ida ReRouter is a transaction program designed to take Host IPDS print using the LU 6.2 protocol and convert it to print using a bi-directional TCP/IP protocol. The program operates under OS/2 2.0 or higher. For a broader description of the ida ReRouter, see chapter 1: "Introduction".

The user must have basic knowledge of Communications Manager, SNA, OS/2 and TCP/IP related environments.
