Installing under OS/400
AX3000 Models 80 and 85 - User's Manual 133
Note: all possible errors are listed in the RFC 2877.
6.3.2 - Setting-Up and Using an LPD Printer
Set the auxiliary port as shown in Chapter 3.5.2.
To add a system printer invoke the following command (AXPRT01 is the OS/400 printer name):
===> CRTDEVPRT DEVD(AXPRT01) DEVCLS(*VRT) TYPE(3812) MODEL(1) FONT(11)
To associate this printer with the AX3000 LPD port, you have to change its outqueue:
===> CHGOUTQ OUTQ(AXPRT01) RMTSYS(*INTNETADR) RMTPRTQ('PARALLEL') CNNTYPE(*IP)
DESTTYPE(*OTHER) TRANSFORM(*YES) MFRTYPMDL(*NECP2) INTNETADR('192.168.1.240')
Where:
- AXPRT01 : OS/400 outqueue name
- PARALLEL : AX3000 Printer Port Name
Uppercase letters are required
- *NECP2 : printer model (here a NEC type P2)
- 192.168.1.240 : AX3000 IP address
Note: if the outqueue is not started, invoke the STRRMTWTR command.
At the OS/400 level this printer is seen as an outqueue and is not allowed to control it as a device.
(For example, it is not possible to start or stop the printer).
6.4 - REMOTE ADMINISTRATION
A Windows administration utility (AxRM or Axel Remote Management) is available free on the Axel
Web site. See Chapter 10.1.
6.5 - FURTHER OPTIONS
6.5.1 - Turning-Off the AX3000
Care should be taken before turning off the thin client (as the AS/400 cannot detect a TCP/IP
device being turned-off). For graceful thin client shutdown use the <Ctrl><Alt><Del> keystroke
combination.
6.5.2 - Reconnection Problem
If an AX3000 5250 session is set with a specific DEVNAME, problems can occur if it is not cleanly
shutdown before being switched off.
If the thin client is powered off without signing off first the AS/400 will be unaware the connection is
broken and will still consider the connection to be valid and in use. If the thin client then tries to sign
on with the same devname the AS/400 will refuse connection.
This problem can be solved by tuning 'keepalive' function of the OS/400 Telnet Server. The
keepalive function allows sessions to time out and die after a certain time. Keepalive probes are
