Installing under OS/400
118 AX3000 Models 80 and 85 - User's Manual
This chapter covers AX3000 installation under OS/400.
This chapter describes the operation of the AX3000 in an OS/400 environment. For more general
information about the AX3000 (network and session settings, etc) please refer to the previous
chapters.
The AX3000 is able to handle both 5250 screen sessions (tn5250 emulation) and printers
(protocols Prt5250 and LPD).
6.1 - 5250 SCREEN SESSION
The IBM 5250 emulation type developed by Axel is IBM-3477-FC.
This emulation provides all the features of an IBM 5250 terminal. Especially:
- Enhanced 5250 telnet protocol (TN5250E): compliant with the RFCs 1205 and 2877
(terminal name negotiation, terminal type negotiation, etc.),
- Color support,
- Screen sizes: 80x24 and 132x27,
- 5250 status line.
6.1.1 - Keyboard Type
a) Setting-Up the Keyboard Type
The AX3000 supports both a 5250 (122 keys) and a PC/AT keyboard (102/105 keys). The
keyboard type is not auto-detected.
To set the keyboard type, enter the AX3000 Set-Up and select the [Configuration]-[Advanced]-
[Tuning] menu. Set the "Keyboard Type" to "PC" or "AS400 (F24)" in the displayed box
Press <Alt><Rest><SetUp> to enter the AX3000 Set-Up with an AS400 keyboard.
b) In event of problems
If the AX3000 setting is not consistent (a PC keyboard is attached but a 5250 keyboard is declared,
or vice versa), the keyboard won’t work.
A specific keystroke allows the keyboard type to be dynamically toggled. This keystroke is
<Ctrl><Alt><K> with a PC keyboard, and <Rest><Alt><K> with a 5250 keyboard.
6.1.2 - Setting a Session
To set a profile session, enter the AX3000 Set-Up and select the [Configuration]-[Sessions]-
[Session X] menu (where X is the session number to be configured). The following box is
displayed:
