Chapter 5 AS/400 Environment
5.1 Configuring AS/400 for ASCII (TCP/IP protocol)
5.1.1 Configuring with ADDTCPIFC
ADDTCPIFC is used to add a TCP/IP interface to AS/400.
This step configures the AS/400 for connection to a TCP/IP network.
1. At the AS/400 command line, enter the following command:
ADDTCPIFC
INTNETADR (‘127.000.000.000’)LIND(ETHLAN)
SUBNETMASK (‘255.255.254.000’)
This screen should look like the following one:
Internet address 127.000.000.000.
…………………………….. :
Subnet mask 255.255.254.000
………………………………… :
Line description ETHLAN
………………………………:
To specify the IP-address and the Subnet Mask, see the values set respectively in the INIT IP ADDRESS and
INIT NET MASK parameters of the LAN INTERFACE item in the Power-On Configuration setup
you find in the User Manual included in the Printer Documentation & Driver CD-ROM.
5.1.2 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.
5.1.3 Configuring a Local Domain and Host Name
The AS/400 print commands require a local name and host name. 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.
To configure the local domain, you will run the CFGTCO command.
5.1.4 Configuring a TCP/IP Host Table Entry
Although it is optional to create a TCP/IP host table entry, it is suggested that you take this step. Add the
AS/400 name and the LAN IP address to the “Host Table Entries”.
