AGILE 5250 ALLY User’s Guide and Reference

Alternate Host Configuration (Group 30)

Alternate host configuration has only three options: Mode, Timeout and special options for Xerox printers. Xerox special options are described in Appendix A — Interfacing Xerox Printers.

31 — Alternate Host Modes

The mode selection tells the 5250 ALLY what to do with the data it receives from the alternate host. The default mode is “Transparent.” In Transparent mode, the data output by the 5250 ALLY is identical to the data received, with the exception that the data is routed through the active translation table. The other modes are used only for diagnostic purposes.

To program this option:

 

!AGILE!31=00;

IBM emulation

!AGILE!31=01;

SCS dump

!AGILE!31=02;

Xerox 275 emulation

!AGILE!31=04;

Transparent mode (default)

!AGILE!31=05;

Hex dump

33 — Alternate Host Timeout

When the alternate host port has stopped using the printer port for a user- configurable timeout period, the 5250 ALLY makes the printer port available for use by the twinax port. The timeout period should be as short as possible to prevent too much time being wasted between print jobs from the two sources, but it should not be so short that a job from the alternate host port could be interrupted by a job from the twinax port. Five seconds is the default, but the time may need to be increased when running complex graphic applications that take time during printing to compute the image. Some applications may require timeout values as large as one minute.

To program this option:

 

!AGILE!33=00;

1 second timeout

!AGILE!33=01;

5 second timeout (default)

!AGILE!33=02;

10 second timeout

!AGILE!33=03;

15 second timeout

!AGILE!33=04;

30 second timeout

!AGILE!33=05;

45 second timeout

!AGILE!33=06;

1 minute timeout
