I-Data 5250 ALLY - Manual (Page 53)

Page 2-7 CHAPTER 2 — ADVANCED CONFIGURATION
SCS dump mode is used to tell the 5250 ALLY to print a formatted
hexadecimal report, including an interpretation of the SCS and DCA
commands, of the incoming EBCDIC data from the twinax host. Refer to
Chapter 5 — Maintenance & Troubleshooting for a printout of a sample
SCS dump.
Xerox 275 emulation mode is an emulation of a Xerox 275 twinax
protocol converter. If this mode is selected, the user ordinarily should also
select either IBM 5225 or IBM 5256 under 02 — Printer Emulation
(!AGILE! 02=04; or !AGILE!02=05;). Also, under Translation (Group
60), the user will usually want to set the twinax translation table to Xerox
275 EBCDIC to ASCII (!AGILE!60=07;). If the user’s printer is set for
the EBCDIC character set, the user must set the twinax translation table to
EBCDIC to EBCDIC (!AGILE!60=03;).
Transparent mode is used only for diagnostic purposes when the user has
been advised to do so by AGILE.
Hex dump mode will cause the 5250 ALLY to print all data it receives as
16 hexadecimal bytes per line on the left column of a page, accompanied
in the right column by the 16 ASCII characters they represent. SCS/DCA
commands are represented by a backslash (\) character. Refer to Chapter 5
— Maintenance & Troubleshooting for a sample Hex dump printout.
05 — Twinax Timeout
When the twinax port has stopped using the printer port for a user-
configurable timeout period, the 5250 ALLY makes the printer port
available for use by the alternate host port. The timeout period should be
as short as possible to prevent too much time being wasted between print
jobs from the two sources, but it should not be so short that a job from the
twinax port could be interrupted by a job from the alternate host port. Five
seconds is the default timeout period for the twinax port.
To program this option:
!AGILE!05=00; 1 second timeout
!AGILE!05=01; 5 second timeout (default)
!AGILE!05=02; 10 second timeout
!AGILE!05=03; 15 second timeout
!AGILE!05=04; 30 second timeout
!AGILE!05=05; 45 second timeout
!AGILE!05=06; 1 minute timeout
