1 PSF/MVS AFP Printing Using TCP/IP
This chapter provides information on how to create MVS definitions for printing
from PSF/MVS via TCP/IP. The following topics are addressed:
JES printer statements
PSF Start-up procedure
Once these parameters have been configured, and the basic TCP/IP installation of
the PrintServer with IPDS has been completed, direct AFP / IPDS from PSF / MVS
will be possible.
MTU size:
•
The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) of the IP packet for the MVS
system is recommended to be set up to 2000.
NOTE:The MTU size should not exceed the maximum size sent through
the control unit. Failure may lead to transmission problems.

5 PSF/AIX IPDS Printing Using TCP/IP
This chapter provides details on:
Adding a TCP/IP attached printer
Set up of the KEEPALIVE TCP/IP feature
The basic TCP/IP installation of the PrintServer (IPDS) must be completed before
direct AFP / IPDS from PSF/AIX will be possible.
5.1 Adding TCP/IP attached printer
The port number is defined in the PSF/AIX SMIT Add a TCP/IP-Attached Printer
panel.
1. Enter Printer name
PSF/AIX uses the printer name you specify. Enter a name of up to 8
characters.
2. Enter Internet address
The address in the TCP/IP network where the PrintServer is installed.
Enter a 32-bit dotted decimal notation (e.g. 192.0.2.1).
3. Enter Port number (5001)
If the output device is attached to PARALLEL 1 of the print server, then
select TCP/IP port number 5001. The value chosen must match the value
defined for the session in the PrintServer (IPDS). 5001 is the default port
number of the first IPDS port no. in the PrintServer (IPDS).
5.2 KEEPALIVE support for AIX
The TCP/IP components in AIX offer network attachment for printers. However,
these TCP/IP components do not always detect connection failures if a point-to-
point session between the AIX machine and the device has failed (e.g. in
connection with a printer being abruptly powered off). This may result in serious
problems for IPDS printers in sessions with PSF/AIX
Now, support for the TCP KEEPALIVE facility has been added to the TCP/IP
components of AIX to detect all communication failures. PSF/AIX directs TCP to
send a KEEPALIVE transmission on a TCP connection remaining inactive for an
extended period. If the KEEPALIVE transmission is not acknowledged, the TCP
assumes that the connection partner has been lost and subsequently reports a
failure to PSF/AIX
The frequency of these transmissions depends upon the configuration of AIX
TCP/IP environment. The default for AIX is two hours or more. This, however, can
be adjusted. These values apply to all TCP applications that request KEEPALIVE
transmissions.
In the following, you are provided with instructions for using the KEEPALIVE
support facility added to the TCP/IP components for AIX
2

5.3 AIX KEEPALIVE support
The no (network options) command can be used by the root user to configure
KEEPALIVE frequencies.
no -o tcp_keepidle=nnn
no -o tcp_keepintvl=nnn
when nnn is in half-seconds.
The command tcp_keepidle specifies the interval of inactivity causing the TCP to
generate a KEEPALIVE transmission for an application that requests them.
The default is 14400 (2 hours).
The command tcp_keepintvl specifies the interval between the nine retry
attempts if a KEEPALIVE transmission is not acknowledged.
The default is 150 (75 seconds).
The no commands must be run each time the AIX system is started. Adding the
no commands to /etc/rc.net is a convenient way of automating this step.
Adding e.g.
no -o tcp_keepidle=480
no -o tcp_keepintvl=80
to /etc/rc.net causes the TCP to send a KEEPALIVE transmission if a TCP
connection has been inactive for 4 minutes and the application requested
KEEPALIVE transmissions, as AIX now does. AIX recommends these TCP
configuration settings to customers who use TCP/IP attached printers and the
device.
To view current settings enter
no -a
When the installation and configuration procedures for the PSF/AIX have been
completed, you are ready for printing.

6 PSF/400 AFP Printing Using TCP/IP
This chapter provides configuration guidelines for AS/400 IPDS Printing over
TCI/IP. These guidelines are applicable for OS/400 version 3.7, 4.X and 5.X.
The examples of completed screens given are for OS/400 version 4.X and 5.X and
may contain some additional parameters not seen in version 3.7, these may be
ignored.
Requirements:
Before IPDS printing using TCP/IP can be accomplished, the following points need
to be checked:
•

6.1 AS/400 Settings for Version 3.7, 4.X and 5.X
To configure IPDS printing on OS/400 3.7, V4RX and V5RX, it is necessary to
create a Printer Device Description. It is also highly recommended to create a PSF
configuration as this includes additional printer settings and e.g. media size
information used with matrix printers. These are created using the following
commands:
•
•
CRTPSFCFG
CRTDEVPRT
6.1.1 Creating the PSF configuration
On the AS/400 command line, enter a command in the form:
CRTPSFCFG PSFCFG(AFP/NETWRKPRT) IPDSPASTHR(*YES) RLSTMR(*SEC15)
TEXT('<Optional Text description> ')
Where:
AFP is the name an existing library in which the PSF configuration is to be
located and NETWRKPRT is the name given to the PSF configuration object. Any
existing library and a name of choice for the object can be substituted here but
the same values must be used in the creation of the Printer Device Description in
the next step.
<Optional Text description> is an optional text description for the PSF
configuration object.

7 SCS/DCA Printing Using TN5250e
To set up TN5250, configure your PrintServer using PrintGuide (see the manual
Getting Started with PrintGuide, doc. no. 60364 on the Utility Pack).
Start PrintGuide, select Telnet Print Settings (Figure 7), select TN5250e as
Connection Type and enter the Device Name for your <PrintServer>.
On many AS/400 installations, a device is automatically set up on the AS/400
when the PrintServer is booted. For this to happen, the following conditions
apply:
•
•
Telnet must be started.
The QUATOVRT SYSVAL parameter must be set to a value that is higher
than the number of auto-configured virtual controllers currently running
on the system. See section 6.3.1 for this procedure.
On some installations, the QAUTOVRT SYSVAL parameter is set to 0. This
prevents any virtual controllers from being auto-created. In cases where
QAUTOVRT SYSVAL cannot be changed from 0, devices must be configured
manually. See section 6.3.2
7.1.1 Autoconfiguration of Devices
How to set up your AS/400 to auto-configure devices:
Issue the command:
WRKCTLD *VWS
This will determine the number of auto-configured Virtual Controllers on the
system.
Issue the command:
DSPSYSVAL QAUTOVRT
If the system value of QAUTOVRT is zero, then use the procedure outlined in
section 6.3.2
If the system value of QAUTOVRT is equal to the number of auto-configured
Virtual Controllers, the QAUTOVRT value should be increased by the number of
devices that will be configured.
7.1.2 Manual Configuration of Devices
This section describes how to create printer definitions on AS/400s that have the
QAUTOVRT SYSVAL parameter set to 0.
