Setting Printer Definition Values >
Defining the Host Attachments
This procedure lets you view or edit the definition settings of
an installed attachment.
Note:
The printer can have multiple sets of definition data: one for each mode in which the printer can run. To update a definition for a particular mode, the printer must be running in that
mode (for example, POD mode or Duplex mode).
The following host attachments are available:
- Parallel Channel
- ESCON Channel
- FICON Channel
- Token Ring TCP/IP
- 10/100BaseT Ethernet TCP/IP
- GigaBit Ethernet TCP/IP
- FDDI TCP/IP (AFCCU microcode levels 11.x and earlier only)
Table 7 defines the host attachments available.
Before you change a definition value, please review the information in Table 34 for the attachment definition you are changing.
Before you print the attachment configuration, ensure that all attachments
are disabled. See "Enabling and Disabling Attachments" in the Operator's Guide for more information. You do not need to disable attachments
if you are viewing or changing the configuration.

Note
Selecting Restart requires one of the following:
- Certain configuration items require restart for a change in the parameter
to take effect. If restart is required, the console will notify you.
- All ESCON, FICON, Parallel, and Resource Utilization configurations require
restarting both printers in dual-simplex mode.
