Mainframe SNA Printing
Note:
SNA is only available for AXIS 5470e units with the SNA option. Please refer to Product Model
Summary, on page 7.
Configuring the Mainframe Host System for SNA printing
Important!
When using a concentrator gateway between the host and your print server, it is not necessary to define separate
VTAM Major Node and PU definitions for the AXIS 5470e/570/670e. You will instead be working with the gateway
VTAM definitions. Since the AXIS 5470e/570/670e will appear to the host as one or several LU’s attached to the
gateway PU, you need only add LU definitions to the gateway major node definition and then proceed to step 3
below.
1. Define a VTAM Major Node Definition where the Print Server definitions will be
placed. Using a channel attached 3174 as a gateway to the host, this definition is typically
defined as a Local Major Node. If you are using a remotely attached gateway via a 37X5
communications controller or a LAN attached 3172, you will be working with a Switched
Major Node definition.
2. Add the Print Server PU and LU definitions to the major node definition.
Note:
For Switched major Node definitions you will need to:
•
Add the IDBLK (default = E07) and IDNUM (default = last 5 digits of the AXIS
5470e/570/670e MAC address) entries to the PU definition.
•
Code a PATH definition using the full 12 digit MAC address of the unit.
Example:
An AXIS 5470e/570/670e with a MAC/node address 00408C1B06D4 will be defined as:
PA5470e1 PATH DIALNO=010400408C1B06D4, GID=1, PID=1, GRPNM=gggggg
3. Ensure that the corresponding VTAM Logon-mode entries are available and that the
appropriate LU session types (LU1 or LU3) are used.
4. Vary ACTive the VTAM Major Node definition for the AXIS 5470e/570/670e.

2. Press the AXIS 5470e/570/670e test button once to print a test page and ensure that the SNA
status is defined as Idle, Actv, LU-1 or LU-3.
The AXIS 5470e/570/670e is now ready for use in the SNA environment.
Notes:
If the LAN media at the remote (Print Server) location differs from that at the host location (e.g.
Remote LAN = Ethernet and Host LAN = Token Ring), the MAC address definitions must be
modified, as outlined below:
Print Server Modifications:
The AXIS 5470e/570/670e Host MAC address (H1_MAC_ADDR) must be bit-order reversed for
each byte,
e.g. if the host address is 08005AB77D49 the converted address will be 10005AEDBE92.
Host Modifications:
The required Host modifications are dependent upon the VTAM definition for the Major Node
where the Print Server definition is placed.
•
Case 1 - VTAM Major Node definition is a Switched Major Node.
The MAC address of the AXIS 5470e/570/670e must be bit-order reversed in the PATH entry.
An AXIS 5470e/570/670e with a MAC/node address of 00408C1B06D4 will be defined using
the MAC/node address 000231D8602B as follows:
PA5701 PATH DIALNO=0104000231D8602B, GID=1, PID=1, GRPNM=gggggg
•
Case 2 - VTAM Major Node definition is a Local Major Node.
When using a channel attached controller as gateway to the host, the MAC address of the
AXIS 5470e/570/670e is configured in the gateway. The address must be reversed, as in case 1
above.

Setup for Macintosh
Having connected the AXIS 5470e/570/670e to your network, you are now ready to set up your
AXIS 5470e/570/670e for printing in Macintosh environments using AppleTalk. Basic configuration in AppleTalk is performed simply by opening the Chooser window and selecting a printer.
The method for choosing a printer varies depending on which LaserWriter printer driver version
you are using:
• The LaserWriter 7.0 driver assumes that you use a standard Post-Script driver, and cannot take
advantage of any printer-specific features.
• The LaserWriter 8.0 driver uses PPD files that contain printer descriptions. This gives you full
control over any features your printer might have.
Follow the instruction below to choose a printer for LaserWriter 8.0 (you will find information on
the LaserWriter 7.0 driver in the AXIS 5470e/570/670e User’s Manual):

IPP Printing
AXIS 5470e/570/670e User’s Guide
IPP Printing
With IPP (the Internet Printing Protocol), a user with an Internet connection can send a document
to any printer connected to the Internet. IPP is platform-independent and can be used to print over
any LAN or WAN that supports TCP/IP. See the AXIS 5470e/570/670e User’s Manual for detailed
information on IPP printing.
In order to print to a remote printer using IPP, you need the following:
• An IPP client installed on your computer together with appropriate printer drivers. The
IPP client is a tool that adds destination printers to your printer list. Windows 2000 comes
with an integrated IPP client. See the AXIS 5470e/570/670e User’s Manual for
information on obtaining IPP clients for other operating systems.
• The printer to which you want to send your print job needs to be connected to a server
with IPP functionality; the AXIS 5470e/570/670e fulfills this function as it can receive
remote print jobs. The IPP-functionality of the AXIS 5470e/570/670e print server is
automatically activated upon installation.
Note:
Free AXIS 5470e/570/670e firmware with integrated IPP functionality can be obtained from the
Axis website: http://www.axis.com.
Printing with IPP in Windows 2000
1. Select the IPP printer to which you want to send your document. Choose the destination
printer from the Select Printer field (In File | Print).
If your destination printer does not exist in your Select Printer list, you need to add it. Adding
an IPP-printer to your printer list is described in Adding an IPP printer in Windows 2000, on
page 40.
2. When you press Print, the print job is sent over the Internet to the AXIS 5470e/570/670e
print server, which then forwards the print job to the destination printer.
3. The recipient of the print job can collect the print job at the destination printer.
Adding an IPP printer in Windows 2000
Before you print to an IPP printer you will need to know:
• the http:// address of the print server. The http:// address contains the IP address or host name
of the print server, the port number (631) and the printer port name.
• the brand and model of the destination printer in order to install the appropriate printer
driver.
• the printer port of the print server to which the printer is connected.
