AFP SUMMARY

AS/400 remote connection

AS/400 does not use a direct Bus & Tag connection. Instead, you must set up a remote PSF/2, PSF for AIX, or BARR/AFP connection.

An AS/400 channel connection requires either BARR/AFP or a PS/2. BARR/AFP uses an LU 6.2 connection to carry real-time, bi- directional traffic from the host to IPDS Group 3 printers. The LU6.2 connection can be either SDLC or Token Ring. Because the IPDS protocol allows the printer to feed its status back to the host in real time, BARR/AFP does not spool the AFP data. Instead, jobs are printed as they are received from the host.

TCP/IP connection: Ethernet

For the Ethernet TCP/IP connection, you must have an Ethernet card installed inside the AS/400. A router directs the jobs being run on the Ethernet to the appropriate device.
