CHAPTER 2 — ADVANCED CONFIGURATION

Page 2-3

Changing Configuration Option Parameters

The command for changing all parameters in the 5250 ALLY begins with the text !AGILE!, the configuration “trigger.” (The trigger is not case sensitive; it may be entered either in upper or lower case letters.) The trigger is followed eventually by a semicolon (;), the configuration “terminator.” Configuration changes take the following form:

!AGILE!OO=CC;

Where !AGILE! is the trigger; OO represents the Option number (2 or 4 hexadecimal digits); CC represents the 2-digit Choice number; an equals sign (=) separates the option number from the choice number; and a semicolon (;) is the terminator.

The hexadecimal values to be substituted for OO and CC are listed on the enclosed AGILE 5250 ALLY Configuration Reference Card. The number for each option or choice is indicated in parentheses within the box that holds the name of the option or choice. For instance, the option number for changing the twinax address is 01. To change the twinax address to 3, enter:

!AGILE!01=03;

Commands are entered in a document to be printed. After typing the command, press the Print Screen key on the alternate host or twinax host keyboard. The 5250 ALLY will interpret the command and change the unit’s configuration. The configuration changes will be temporary unless they are saved to the 5250 ALLY’s flash memory. The command will not be sent to the printer. This allows the user to change the configuration of the 5250 ALLY transparently within a document.

Multiple Configuration Changes

Multiple configuration changes can be made in a single document. Each configuration change must be separated by a comma. Nulls, Spaces, Tabs, Carriage Returns, Line Feeds, Form Feeds and New Lines are allowed. The following command will change the twinax address to 1, set the unit to emulate an IBM 5256 printer, set the mode to IBM emulation, and change the twinax timeout period to one minute:

!AGILE!01=01,02=05,03=01,05=06;
