Introduction

Xerox 4500 PS ETH, Inst. & Operator's Guide

As default the NetBEUI/NetBios protocol will be enabled and as such is ready to print using the default values.

1.1.4 PU/LU protocol

When running in SNA SCS mode, the Xerox 4500 PS ETH will emulate the Xerox 3270 interface products providing support for LU1 SCS, FSL and ICDS.

The Xerox 4500 PS ETH supports SNA SCS printing via PU2/LU1. It is installed and behaves as a network connected SNA PU2 cluster controller with 1 printer attached. This can be equated to a PC with a single LU1 attached printer.

The Xerox 4500 PS ETH provides support for SCS and i-data FSL commands, thus being fully compatible with the Xerox 3270 range of products and emulated IBM printers.

Emulation

The product will emulate the IBM 4028, IBM 3116 or similar printers running SCS (LU1) mode. Print jobs from ida PSS will be supported in Print mode.

1.1.5 ida 802.2 protocol

Native data is sent via the LPT monitor program idaMON, and IPDS data is sent via the IPDS redirecter program idaIPPC.

idaMON

idaMON is a background monitor program which communicates with the Xerox 4500 PS ETH on the Token Ring and with the configuration program idaPMUTL redirecting LPT print to the Xerox 4500 PS ETH.

idaIPPC

The idaIPPC is an OS/2 based redirecter included with the Xerox 4500 PS ETH IPC kit which functions as a bridge between the Host and the Xerox 4500 PS ETH IPC .

For details on redirected printing, see the separate document included on the diskette “Redirected SNA AFP Printing - Token Ring”.
