Between Bracket Printer Sharing
This option determines whether a printer that has been identified to be shared between local
and system printing, will be available for local printing when “between brackets”. Host SNA
print jobs are typically sent within SNA brackets. That is, the beginning of a print job starts
with a Begin Bracket indicator set, and finishes with an End Bracket indicator set. When
Between Bracket Printer Sharing is enabled, then whenever a printer is not within brackets, it
will be available to do local printing. If disabled, then a printer is only available for local
prints when it is not bound within an SNA host session
This item applies to printers directly attached to the LINCS node, and display attached printers,
both for local prints and system prints. ENABLE allows printing between brackets. DISABLE
allows printing only between sessions.
If a printer has multiple host sessions, it is available for access by another host at the same
times it is available for local prints.
Toggle between DISABLE and ENABLE
Note: for display attached printers, this is field is only valid if the device profile defines the
Printer Mode as shared
SNA Alert
The Alert function allows the control unit or operator to send problem determination
information to the host CPU for further processing. Your host CPU must have the appropriate
application program for this program to work properly. You can choose one of four options
for SNA Alert:
• Disable
• Without Operator Messages
• Operator Messages From All Sessions
• Operator Messages w/Supervisor Authority
Operator Messages with Supervisor Authority allows LINCS-initiated alert messages and
allows devices with Supervisor Authority to generate alert messages. Devices are given
Supervisor Authority on the Device Profile/Display panel.
To send an Operator Initiated Alert, choose the Network Management Menu from the Central
Control Main Menu.
Local Format Storage
This field indicates whether or not Local Format Storage is enabled. The option chosen
determines the amount of feature memory which will be available for loading formats for
each host assigned to this profile.
The options are: Disable, 32K, 64K, 128K, 256K, 512K, 1024K, 1536K
