Specifying the system interface

This section describes the procedure for specifying the network or channel interface for your system. Your options are Channel and TCP/IP.

Note: You can have a bus and tag channel connection plus multiple TCP/IP connections (Token Ring and Ethernet) installed at the same time. Your TCP/IP selection is made at installation and enabled by your service representative. You cannot switch printing between channel and TCP/IP without performing the following procedure.

1.From the Configuration pull-down menu, select Interface. The Interface window displays.

2.From the Select Interface pull-down menu, use the right mouse button to select the interface you want. Your selection displays in the lower-right corner of the window.

Figure 3-2.Interface window displaying the Select Interface pull-down menu

3.Make the appropriate selections and entries on the Channel Options or the TCP/IP Interface window. (Refer to the “Selecting channel interface” or the “Selecting TCP/IP interface” section later in this chapter.)

Caution: Selecting the wrong interface for your equipment— that is, selecting TCP/IP for a system with an HCU enabled, or selecting Channel for a system without an HCU— can cause the parser to shut down, making the system unable to print. If this

happens, you must reboot the Printer Controller, then change your interface selection.
