4 — Twinax Timeout

This mode is used to select the twinax timeout period. After selecting

Mode 4, the LED will display an underscore (_). The user must then press

the MODE button until the LED displays the number of the desired

timeout period (0=1 second, 1=5 seconds, 2=10 seconds, 3=15 seconds,

4=30 seconds, 5=45 seconds, 6=1 minute). After two seconds, the twinax

timeout value will change, and the unit will return to Normal Operating

Mode.

5 — Printer Configurations

This mode is used to select a predefined configuration (stored in the 5250

ALLY’s flash memory) for the PARALLEL OUT PRINTER port. The

complete list of supported printer configurations can be found later in this

chapter (all printer configurations are represented by a two-digit

hexadecimal value). After selecting Mode 5, the LED will display an

equals sign (=). The user must then press the MODE button until the LED

displays the first digit of the desired printer configuration number. After

two seconds, the LED will display an underscore (_), and the user must

enter the second digit of the printer configuration. After two seconds, the

configuration will be loaded, and the unit will return to Normal Operating

Mode.

6 — Alternate Host Modes

This mode is used to select the alternate host mode used by the 5250

ALLY. After selecting Mode 6, the LED will display an underscore (_).

The user must then press the MODE button until the LED displays the

desired mode number (0=IBM emulation, 1=SCS Dump, 2=Xerox 275

emulation, 4=Transparent, 5=Hex Dump). After two seconds, the alternate

host mode value will change, and the unit will return to Normal Operating

Mode.

7 — Alternate Host Timeout

This mode is used to select the alternate host timeout period. After

selecting Mode 7, the LED will display an underscore (_). The user must

then press the MODE button until the LED displays the number of the

desired timeout period (0=1 second, 1=5 seconds, 2=10 seconds, 3=15

seconds, 4= 30 seconds, 5=45 seconds, 6=1 minute). After two seconds,

the alternate host timeout value will change, and the unit will return to

Normal Operating Mode.
