Basic Port Configuration
The 5250 ALLY is configurable to its specific printer/host environment.
While many options are set to factory defaults that may match the user’s
needs, the first time the 5250 ALLY is used, the user will need to
configure its ports so it may properly use the devices attached to them.
This section is intended to walk the user step-by-step through the port
configuration process.
Configuring the Twinax Port
The 5250 ALLY supports one twinax address. It can be configured for
different types of IBM printer emulations, character translation, mode of
operation, etc. To use a twinax port, the user must set its address, select the
appropriate emulation and mode, and choose the timeout period.
