1. Introduction  
This chapter provides a brief introductory description of the  
ida ReRouter. Chapter 4 describes the installation and setup in details.  
1.1 What is the ida ReRouter?  
The ida ReRouter is a transaction program which is able to take Host  
print using the LU 6.2 protocol and pass it to a bi-directional TCP/IP  
(Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol) protocol on any one of  
the supported products stated in section 2.2. “Product Features”.  
The configuration in the following illustrates the routing of Host data using  
the ida ReRouter. See the explanation to the configuration below the

Introduction  
ida ReRouter  
From the ida ReRouter, printer data will be passed transparently through  
the TCP/IP protocol and repacked into the format of a bi-directional  
TCP/IP protocol called “PPR/PPD” ( Page Printer RemotePage Printer  
Daemon).  
In the following is illustrated how the ida ReRouter could be applied. See

Introduction  
ida ReRouter  
ida ReRouter  
The ida ReRouter consists of two main programs:  
- idaRoute (LU 6.2 to TCP/IP ReRouter for OS/2)  
The function of the idaRoute is to act as link between the Host (SNA  
environment) and the TCP/IP protocol. In this way the Host will assume  
that communication with an LU 6.2 device has been established. Based on  
the defined LU Alias (which must be the equivalent of the one defined in  
Communications Manager/2), the idaRoute sends print data and printer  
information transparently through the TCP/IP network.  
- idaRCtrl  
Control program for idaRoute with two functions:  
- setting up the routes  
- showing the status of the defined routes (active/inactive)  
Status of the defined route names will appear from the status field in the  
idaRoute main screen. (See the idaRoute main screen on page 15).  
1.2 Product Features

4.3 Keep Alive Function  
The KEEPALIVE feature is a monitor function to check the conneciton  
between the transaction program (i.e. the ida ReRouter program) and the  
printer. The monitoring of the conneciton is done at defined intervals.  
4.3.1 Support for KeepAlive to OS/2  
The TCP/IP components for OS/2 offer network attachment for  
printers. However, these TCPIP components do not always detect  
connection failures if a point-to-point session between the OS2  
machine and the device has failed (e.g. in connection with a printer  
being abruptly powered off). This may result in serious problems if the  
printers comprise IPDS printers in sessions with PSF/2 or PSF/6000.  
Now, support for the TCP KEEPALIVE facility has been added to the  
TCP/IP components for OS/2 to detect all communcation failures. The  
PSF/6000 or PSF/2 direct TCP to send a KEEPALIVE transmission on  
a TCP connection remaining inactive for an extended period. If the  
KEEPALIVE transmission is not acknowledged, the TCP assumes that  
the connection partner has been lost and subsequently reports a failure  
to the PSF/6000 or PSF/2.  
The frequency of these transmissions depends upon the configuration  
of the TCP/IP in the OS/2 environments. On OS/2, the default values  
are two hours or more. Both platforms, however, allow the frequency of  
KEEPALIVE transmissions to be adjusted. These values apply to all  
TCP applications that request KEEPALIVE transmissions.  
In the following, you are provided with instructions for using the  
KEEPALIVE support facility added to the TCP/IP components for  
OS/2.

Installation and Setup  
ida ReRouter  
4.3.2 TCP/IP KeepAlive configuration on OS/2  
• OS/2 2.0 with APAR IR28716 fix must be installed.  
• TCP/IP 2.0 with CSD UN64092 or later must be installed.  
• The TCP/IP "inetcfg" command can be used to configure the  
"KEEPALIVE" parameter.  
inetcfg KEEPALIVE=nnn  
where nnn is the number of minutes a TCP connection must remain  
inactive before TCP generates a KEEPALIVE transmission for an  
application that requests them.  
The default is 120 minutes.  
The inetcfg command must be run each time the OS/2 system is started.  
Adding the inetcfg command to \tcpip\bin\tcpstart.cmd is a convenient  
way to automate this step.  
For example, adding  
inetcfg KEEPALIVE=4  
to \tcpip\bin\tcpstart.cmd causes TCP to send a KEEPALIVE  
transmission if a TCP connection has been inactive for 4 minutes and the  
application requested KEEPALIVE transmissions, as OS/2 now does.  
OS/2 recommends this TCP configuration setting for customers who use  
TCP/IP-attached printers and the device.  
If the KEEPALIVE transmission is not acknowledged, the TCP will attemt  
to re-connect up to 9 times. The interval between these attempts is fixed  
but short.

7. Workstation Configuration  
- For SNA connection -  
The PC configuration description of Communications Manager/2, LAPS  
and TCP/IP includes both the AS/400 and the S/370 (S/390) network  
systems.  
7.1 Communications Manager/2 for S/370-390 and  
AS/400  
This section describes the configuration of Communications Manager/2  
for the two network systems S/370 (S/390) and AS/400.  
The configuration details is followed by configuration worksheets for the  
two network systems. See section 7.1.2: “S/370 Network Configuration  
Worksheet” and section 7.1.3: “AS/400 Network Configuration  
Worksheet”.  
An explanation to the worksheets can be seen in section 7.1.4:  
"Explanation to configuration Worksheets".  
NOTE:  
The ida ReRouter setup values and the Communications Manager/2  
profiles must match the corresponding parameters of the Host network.  
The configuration examples assume that the connections are based on  
Token Ring.  
You start the configuration from the program "Communications Manager  
Setup" in the Communications Manager/2 folder.  
In the following, the screen to be configured will appear in a frame.  
Underneath you will find the instructions to follow. The numbers in the  
brackets, (e.g (5)) refer to the corresponding number in the Configuration  
Worksheet for Communications Manager/2. See the sections 7.1.2  
(S/370) and 7.1.3 (AS/400).

7.2 LAPS  
When installing TCP/IP, a LAPS (LAN Adapter Protocol Support) protocol  
must be added for the TPC/IP in question.  
First select network adapter and then add the protocol for the TCP/IP as  
illustrated in the screen below. The selected protocol will then appear in  
the field "Current Configuration".  
Press "OK" to confirm the configuration.  
7.3 TCP/IP  
The TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol) is used to  
transfer print data. The print data is encapsulated within the TCP/IP  
during network transmission and is passed transparently to the remote  
device.  
When configuring the TCP/IP there are two parameters to define:  
- network  
- routing this, however, is only in case of multiple IP network  
connection  
57

Network  
Tick the field "Enable LAN Adapter 0" and define the IP address for the  
PC and subnet mask.  
Routing  
NOTE:  
Routing is only defined if connection is made to multiple IP network.  
When configuration of the TCP/IP protocol is completed, you must  
confirm the configuration. Press ALT+ F4 or make a double click in the  
top left corner of the actual screen.  
Then select "SAVE" to save the TCP/IP configuration.

8. Testing Connection to Remote Device  
When the ida ReRouter has been installed and is ready for operation you  
are recommended to test the connection to the remote device being  
communicated with. For a list of remote printer devices being supported  
with the ida ReRouter, see chapter 1: "Introduction".  
The remote devices to be operated with the ida ReRouter support the  
Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) PING function  
8.1 PING Function  
The PING function is used for testing the connection to the remote  
device. The PING function sends an echo request to the network host.  
The function is useful for:  
- Determining the status of the network and various host  
connections.  
- Tracking and isolating hardware and software problems.  
- Testing, measuring and managing networks.  
Before testing, make sure that the remote device is plugged in and  
attached correctly to the LAN.  
1. Activate the TCP/IP protocol  
2. "PING" the unit from the workstation. This verifies both physical LAN  
and IP network connectivity.  
3. On the command line, enter the PING command and the IP address or  
host name of the unit.  
E.g.  
PING 192.0.5.7  
59  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Testing Connection to Remote Device  
ida ReRouter  
PING function succeeded:  
If the PING is OK, you receive a system response like this:  
PING 192.0.5.7: 56 data bytes  
64 bytes from 192.0.5.7: icmp_seq=0.  
time=0. ms  
64 bytes from 192.0.5.7: icmp_seq=1.  
time=0. ms  
64 bytes from 192.0.5.7: icmp_seq=2.  
time=0. ms  
64 bytes from 192.0.5.7: icmp_seq=3.  
time=0. ms  
64 bytes from 192.0.5.7: icmp_seq=4.  
time=0. ms  
----- 192.0.5.7 PING Statistics ----------  
4. Press CTRL-BREAK to end the PING process and receive the  
followng message:  
5 packets transmitted, 5 packets received, 0% packet loss  
round-trip (ms) min/avg/max 0 / 0 / 0.  
PING function failed:  
If the PING function failed to provide the expected system response, you  
should check the remote device as follows:  
1. Make sure that power light on the remote device is ON and that the  
LAN light is ON (solid, not blinking). This means that the unit is  
connected to the LAN.  
2. Press the TEST key on the remote printer device. A test page is  
generated on the printer.  
NOTE: When you press the TEST key, you make a disconnection  
between the printer and the ida ReRouter. To restart, you simply  
send another job to this device.  
If you need further instructions on how to PING the remote device, you  
are referred to the relevant TCP/IP documentation for the host you are  
using.
