Line Description

The name assigned to the iSeries line description as described in “Developing Line Descriptions With CRTLINETH” on page 223.

NOTE: Each iSeries LAN adapter will have its own line description.

Configuring A Router Definition With

ADDTCPRTE

If necessary, use the ADDTCPRTE command to create a route definition. This is required if the printer is somewhere other than on a local segment and must cross bridges.

Configuring A Local Domain And Hostname

The iSeries print commands, described in “Setting Up Printing For ASCII Files” on page 228, require a local name and hostname. If you have already configured LAN attached TCP/IP printers on the iSeries system, you will have a local domain name and hostname configured on the system.

NOTE: If you already have a local domain name and hostname configured on the system, do not change your setup.

If the local domain name and hostname file is empty, the file must be set up. This control file information is used to determine if a print request comes from an authorized host.

To configure the local domain and hostname, you will run the CFGTCP command and select Option “12” from the menu. Enter a local domain name, such as city.company.com. Enter a local hostname, such as as400-01. This is the name of your iSeries system and must match the hostname for your system in the host entry table. Refer to “Configuring A TCP/IP Host Table Entry” for more information.

NOTE: If the printer and iSeries are not on the same local LAN segment, use CFGTCP Option 2 to verify that there is a route defined in the TCP/IP route list.
