AGILE 5250 ALLY User’s Guide and Reference

Twinax Addressing

After power-on hardware diagnostics and during twinax initialization, the twinax port is monitored to check the 5250 ALLY twinax configuration against the actual port configuration. Before the 5250 ALLY will begin communication on the twinax address, it monitors the line to ensure that the selected address is not being used by another device on the twinax network. If the address is already used, the 5250 ALLY will not use the address, but will flag the configuration error to the user. After twinax initialization, during normal operation, the configured twinax address is continually monitored by the 5250 ALLY.

Error Codes

Decimal Point On

If the 5250 ALLY front panel LED decimal point light is On, the system is polling the unit on the configured address.

Decimal Point Off

If the decimal point is Off, the system is not polling that address. If the System is not polling that address, either the unit is not connected properly, or the System is not configured to have a device on that address. Check the connections, and if the error persists, configure the System to accept a device on that address.

Decimal Point Slow Flash

If the decimal point is flashing On and Off in half-second intervals, the unit is in slow poll mode.

Decimal Point Fast Flash

If the decimal point is flashing On and Off in quarter-second intervals, the unit’s twinax address is in collision with another device on the twinax line. The address must be changed to one that is not being used by another device.

Digital Display Slow Flash

If the digit on the 5250 ALLY front panel LED is flashing at half-second intervals, the 5250 ALLY is holding data for the printer. During small print jobs, the flashing may not be apparent to the user, but it will be noticeable during large jobs that the printer cannot process immediately.

Digital Display Fast Flash

If the digit on the 5250 ALLY front panel LED is flashing at quarter- second intervals, there is a problem at the printer; probably, the printer is either off line or out of paper.
