Re: Advanced S/36 (436) printer error

[Neil Palmer <NeilP@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Philipp,

Not sure it the 5494 can handle 5294 emulation mode like the 5394 (IBM's 
iSeries Support web sites seem to have died, YET AGAIN !), but for a 5394:


Field BB specifies the operating mode of the 5394. If Field BB is 0, the 
controller will be used in 5394 mode (for connections to the iSeries or 
AS/400e server). Field BB should be set to 1 (5294 emulation mode) for 
connections to System/36 or System/38.

...Neil

Re: Advanced S/36 (436) printer error






Neil,
to be honest: I would not even know how to do that
Customer didn't change anything at the remote site since years.
What we did at the central site (where the 436 is sitting), we tried to
setup up a 5494 with a setup similar to the other site just to see
if it works together with the old controller/line definition.
Since these tests, of which all failed after handshaking, the old
remote controller refuses to connect to that  line anymore.
I don't know whats going on here, since we did not change
a single byte manually at the 436.

Regards from Germany, Philipp
