Page 47 highlights

NOTE: Do not use the OP address of the NIC. Subnet Mask The Subnet Mask for this AS/400 TCP/IP interface (for example, 255.255.255.0). Line Description The name assigned to the AS/400 line description as described in "Developing Line Descriptions with CRTLINETH or CRTLINTRN" on page 3-2. NOTE: Each AS/400 LAN adapter will have its own line description. Configuring a Router Definition with ADDTCPRTE If necessary, use the ADDTCPRTE command to create a route definition. This is required if the printer is somewhere other than on a local segment and must cross bridges. Configuring a Local Domain and Hostname The AS/400 print commands, described in "Setting up Printing for ASCII Files" on page 3-6, require a local name and hostname. If you have already configured LAN attached TCP/IP printers on the AS/400 system, you will have a local domain name and hostname configured on the system. NOTE: If you already have a local domain name and hostname configured on the system, do not change your setup. If the local domain name and hostname file is empty, the file must be setup. This control file information is used to determine if a print request comes from an authorized host. To configure the local domain and hostname, you will run the CFGTCP command and select Option "12" from the menu. Enter a local domain name, such as city.company.com. Enter a local hostname, such as as400-01. This is the name of your AS/400 system and must match the hostname for your system in the host entry table. Refer to "Configuring a TCP/IP Host Table Entry" on page 3-6. AS/400 Configuration 3-5

AS/400 Configuration
NOTE:
Do not use the OP address of the NIC.
Subnet Mask
The Subnet Mask for this AS/400 TCP/IP interface (for example,
255.255.255.0).
Line Description
The name assigned to the AS/400 line description as described in
“Developing Line Descriptions with CRTLINETH or CRTLINTRN” on
page 3–2.
NOTE:
Each AS/400 LAN adapter will have its own line description.
Configuring a Router Definition with ADDTCPRTE
If necessary, use the ADDTCPRTE command to create a route definition. This is
required if the printer is somewhere other than on a local segment and must
cross bridges.
Configuring a Local Domain and Hostname
The AS/400 print commands, described in “Setting up Printing for ASCII Files” on
page 3–6, require a local name and hostname. If you have already configured
LAN attached TCP/IP printers on the AS/400 system, you will have a local
domain name and hostname configured on the system.
NOTE:
If you already have a local domain name and hostname configured
on the system, do not change your setup.
If the local domain name and hostname file is empty, the file must be setup. This
control file information is used to determine if a print request comes from an
authorized host.
To configure the local domain and hostname, you will run the CFGTCP command
and select Option “12” from the menu. Enter a local domain name, such as
city.company.com
. Enter a local hostname, such as
as400–01
. This is the
name of your AS/400 system and must match the hostname for your system in
the host entry table. Refer to “Configuring a TCP/IP Host Table Entry” on
page 3–6.
