3.The following parameters must be specified: a. Internet Address

Internet address of the iSeries Ethernet LAN adapter.

NOTE:Do not use the IP address of the Ethernet Interface.

b.Subnet Mask

The Subnet Mask for this iSeries TCP/IP interface (for example, 255.255.255.0).

c.Line Description

The name assigned to the iSeries line description as described in “Developing Line Descriptions With CRTLINETH” on page 223. Each iSeries LAN adapter will have its own line description.

Configuring A TCP/IP Host Table Entry

Although optional, it is recommended that you create a TCP/IP host table entry. Add the iSeries name and the IP address of the LAN adapter to the “Host Table Entries.” Also, add the hostname and IP address of the printer to the list. You can access the host table entries function by using the CFGTCP command, then selecting option 10 from the menu.

You can also add entries to your host table for both the hostname and the fully qualified network name for your system. The entry name should match the name you configured for host and domain. For example, if your hostname is “RCHASM03” and your domain name is “RCHLAND.IBM.COM”, your fully qualified network name is “RCHASM03.RCHLAND.IBM.COM”. In your host entry table, enter both RCHASM03 and RCHASM03.RCHLAND.IBM.COM.
