INSTALLATIONXEROX DOCUPRINT 92C IPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE 8-3Defining the IPS printer to the hostPrior to installation of your IPS printer, your host system must beconfigured to communicate with and print on the IPS. This requiresdefining several printer parameters to your host. The requiredinformation and configuration procedures differ according to yourconnectivity type (channel or TCP/IP), and your host and PSFenvironment. You will need to provide these parameters to yourXerox representative on installation day.There are two appendices in this guide which provide printerconfiguration procedures and the parameters you must define inorder to configure PSF to make a connection with your IPS. Oneappendix discusses channel-attached environments; the otherappendix provides information for environments in which the IPSuses TCP/IP to communicate via Ethernet or Token Ring.Parameters are given for MVS mainframes, AS/400, RS/6000running AIX, and PS/2 or other personal computers running OS/2.Software licensingWhen an IPS printer is purchased, the owner needs to receive alicense to use the operating system software. Once a user calls inwith a host ID, (Sun SPARC/Ultra host ID), the user receives alicense string. Refer to the “Setting up the printer controller” chapterin the Guide to Configuring and Managing the System (section titled“Loading the IPS software license text stream”).This license is enabled by entering a 20-character authorization textstring at the printer controller keyboard. Your Xerox servicerepresentative obtains this license text string for you and enters itwhen your IPS is installed.Until this license string is entered, your IPS cannot receive data fromthe host to print. You can power on and boot the system, and performall offline tasks such as setting up input and output configurations,but the IPS remains in Disabled mode and cannot print.Although your service representative usually does this for you, youalso can enter your license string, by selecting IPS AuthorizationEnablement from the Administration pulldown menu on the IPS mainwindow. Refer to your IPS Guide to Configuring and Managing theSystem, “Setting up the printer controller” chapter, for the procedure.Note: If your system will be operating in Dual Mode, it requires twolicense strings: one for IPS and one for NPS.
