E. Defining the printer to the host: TCP/IP attachment

This appendix contains instructions, prerequisites, and some sample printer parameters for defining your TCP/IP-attached IPS printer to your host in each supported PSF environment.

Note: The IPS does not support TCP/IP in the VM environment. PSF/VSE does not support TCP/IP directly; however, a printing system with PSF/2 or PSF/6000 can attach to a PSF/VSE system and the PSF/2 or PSF/6000 can furnish the TCP/IP support for the IPS printer.

MVS or OS/390 parameters

This section discusses the parameters and procedures required to define an IPS printer to your host, followed by examples of the parameters required for a Token Ring connection using TCP/IP in a MVS environment.

Note: The MVS examples shown are for a Token Ring connection. However, the same parameters will be required for an Ethernet connection using TCP/IP.

Software prerequisites – MVS

On an MVS/ESA or OS/390 host system, you must have the following software to print through PSF on a TCP/IP-attached IPS:

•

•

PSF/MVS Version 2, release 2.0, with APAR OW 15599

MVS Scheduler APAR OW 12236 to support two new PRINTDEV keywords: IPADDR and PORTNO

•TCP/IP Version 3, release 1 or higher, installed and configured on MVS.

You must have these prerequisites installed on your host before you begin the configuration process described in this chapter. Ensure that the manuals for the proper software releases are used.
