tightly-coupled, then the switch must be performed manually by the operator. The printer must be disabled
from the current system and attachment before it can be enabled to the other attachment.
System/370 Parallel Channel
System/370 parallel channel attachment is supported on PSF/MVS, PSF/VM, and PSF/VSE printing
environments. For S/370 parallel channel attachment, a control unit position on a S/370 parallel block
multiplexer channel is required on an IBM 3090
™
or ES/9000
™
processor. The following processors are
also supported for S370 parallel channel attachments, S/390 Parallel Enterprise Server, and the S/390
Multiprise 2000 servers. Attachment is also supported via the 9034 ESCON Converter Model 1.
ESCON Channel
ESCON channel is supported on PSF/MVS, PSF/VM, and PSF/VSE printing environments. The IBM
InfoPrint 4000 may be attached natively to IBM ESCON channels (3090-J, 9021, 9121, 9221, 9672, 2003).
Attachment is also supported via the 9032/9033 ESCON Directors and 9036 ESCON Remote Channel
Extender model 1 and model 2.
Token-Ring (TCP/IP) Attachment
Token-Ring(TCP/IP) attachment is supported on PSF for OS/2 and PSF for AIX printing environments
along with selected RS/6000 and AS/400 models. The Infoprint 4000 is connected to the hostToken-Ring
through the IBM Token-Ringcabling 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/secToken-Ring LAN. The
TCP/IP Token-RingAttachment will attach to the following devices:
v8228 TokenRing Multistation Access Unit attached to an AS/400 or RS/6000 processor
v8230 TokenRing Network Controller Access attached to an AS/400 or RS/6000 processor
v8228 TokenRing Multistation Access Unit attached to a 3172, 3174, 3745, 3725, or 3720 attached to a
3090, ES/9000, or 308X processor
v8230 TokenRing 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.
vInstallation Instructions are provided with the feature.
FDDI (TCP/IP)
FDDI (TCP/IP) attachment is supported on PFS for AIX printing environments for selected RS/6000
models. The 4000 is 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 theAFCCU. The FDDI (TCP/IP)
attachment will attach to the following devices:
vDirectly to RS/6000
v8260 Multiprotocol Intelligent Switching Hub attached to an RS/6000 processor.
The printer may be located at a maximum distance of 2 Kilometers from the 8260 Multiprotocol Intelligent
Switching Hub or RS/6000 processor.
