BARR/PRINT CHANNEL for IPDS provides an easy way to switch from channel-attached IPDS (Intelligent Printer Data Stream) printers to network-attached IPDS printers without changing your host configuration. This program enables your mainframe to communicate with your IP-attached printers. By simulating a channel-attached printer, BARR/PRINT CHANNEL for IPDS acts as an intermediary step. Your mainframe connects to BARR/PRINT CHANNEL for IPDS with a Bus & Tag or ESCON® cable. BARR/PRINT CHANNEL for IPDS then communicates with your IP-attached printers using TCP/IP. There are two options to connect the mainframe to the BARR/PRINT CHANNEL for IPDS computer. BARR/PRINT CHANNEL for IPDS with ESCON connects to the mainframe through the CHANNEL-IN (ES) adapter. A thin, flexible, fiber-optic cable connects the adapter to the mainframe. You can also connect the cable to an ESCON director, which is connected to the mainframe. With an ESCON director, you can attach multiple ESCON adapters to the mainframe. The ESCON director provides a switched point-to-point fiber-optic configuration, so that failed components can be replaced, and controllers and channels relocated without disrupting operation. BARR/PRINT CHANNEL for IPDS with Bus & Tag connects to the mainframe through the CHANNEL-IN adapter. With the CHANNEL INTELLIGENCE adapter, the CHANNEL INTELLIGENCE cable is connected directly from the adapter to the mainframe without the use of a Channel Attach Box (CAB). With the CHANNEL-IN (BT) adapter, a Bus & Tag cable connects the adapter to the CAB. A Bus & Tag cable connects the CAB to the mainframe and to any other downstream channel-attached devices.
