IBM 4100 Ethernet TCP/IP Attachment, Fddi TCP/IP Attachment, Gigabit Ethernet Attachment

selected RS/6000 and AS/400 models. The Infoprint 4100-HD1/HD2 -PD1/PD2 printer is connected to the host Token- Ring through the IBM Token-Ring cabling via the Token Ring High-performance adapter, which is contained in the AFCCU. The control unit can be attached to either a 16Mbit/sec or a 4Mbit/sec Token-Ring LAN. The TCP/IP Token- Ring Attachment will attach to the following devices:

8228 Token Ring Multistation Access Unit attached to an AS/400 or RS/6000 processor

8230 Token Ring Network Controller Access attached to an AS/400 or RS/6000 processor

8228 Token Ring Multistation Access Unit attached to a 3172, 3174, 3745, 3725, or 3720 attached to a 3090, ES/9000, or 308X processor

8230 Token Ring Multistation Access Unit attached to a 3172, 3174, 3745, 3725, or 3720 attached to a 3090, ES/9000, or 308X processor

The printer may be located at a maximum distance of 100 meters (333 ft) from the 8228 Multistation Access Unit or 8230 Controlled Access Unit.

The distance between the 8228 Multistation Access Units can be increased with either the 8220 or 8219 Optical Fiber Repeater.

Installation Instructions are provided with the feature.

Ethernet (TCP/IP) Attachment

An Ethernet Adapter Card (P/N 00G3369) is supplied with Specify Feature 9990 and Special Feature 4161. This is installed in the processor of the AFCCU of the IBM Infoprint 4100 HS1/PS1. The IBM Infoprint 4100 HS1/PS1 may then be attached to an Ethernet LAN via one of the following means:

Ethernet Thin Coax

IBM Supplies a Thin Coax wrap connector (P/N 02G7433)

Ethernet Thick Coax

IBM Supplies the Thick Coax wrap connector (D-shell connector; P/N 71F1167)

Ethernet Twisted Pair

IBM Supplies a Twisted Pair Transceiver (P/N 00G2906)

IBM Supplies a Twisted Pair Wrap plug (P/N 00G2380)

FDDI (TCP/IP) Attachment

FDDI (TCP/IP) attachment is supported on PSF for AIX, Infoprint Manager for AIX, and Infoprint Manager for NT and 2000 printing environments for selected RS/6000 models. The Infoprint 4100 printers are connected to the host FDDI through FDDI 62.5/125 multi-mode fiber cabling using SC connectors via the FDDI Single Station adapter, which is contained in the AFCCU. The FDDI (TCP/IP) attachment will attach to the following devices:

Directly to RS/6000

8260 Multiprotocol Intelligent Switching Hub attached to an RS/6000 processor.

The printers may be located at a maximum distance of 2 Kilometers from the 8260 Multiprotocol Intelligent Switching Hub or RS/6000 processor.

Gigabit Ethernet Attachment

The Gigabit Ethernet attachment is supported in Infoprint Manager for AIX printing environments. The Infoprint 4100 printers are attached to the Ethernet LAN by way of a 62.5 mm SC fiber optic cable.

FICON Attachment

FICON channel attachment is supported in the PSF for OS/390 printing environments. The Infoprint 4100 printers may be attached natively to IBM FICON Channels (9672-G5, 9672-G6, and 900Z).

Attachment is also supported by way of the 2032 Director and the 2042 Director, as well as to the remote end of an IBM 2029 Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexor.
