Introduction
This chapter provides a brief overview of the I-O 2677e Ethernet Display.
Overview
The I-O 2677e Ethernet Display is a simple to use IBM AS/400 iSeries 5250 display and printer device.
Connection to the IBM host is accomplished over the Ethernet link using TN5250e (a TCP/IP display
and printing protocol created for use with IBM iSeries AS/400 hosts).
Configuration is required only on the 2677e as the IBM host will automatically create display devices
and, if desired, a print device, writer and spooler. The IBM host will either create its own name for the
display or printer session, or you may setup a name of your choice. The IBM host must be configured
to use TCP/IP, TN5250e and set for automatic device configuration.
With TN5250e, the IBM host recognizes two types of display devices, (3477fc for color or 3477fg for
monochrome) and one type of printer device, a 3812 laser printer.
The TN5250e display emulation functions just like I-O s 2677m Modular Twinax Display using the same
122 and 102-key 5250 keyboards. All typical twinax display functions are implemented in the 2677e.
This allows users to move from legacy twinax displays (whether I-O s own products, IBM s or another
competitor s product) to an Ethernet environment without losing any functionality or relearning
procedures or keyboards.
I-O s implementation of TN5250e printer emulation has been enhanced with a 3812 to 4214 conversion
capability. This allows not only laser printers, but also dot-matrix and thermal printers to be attached to
the 2677e and appear to the IBM host as a 3812 laser printer.
Print jobs sent from the IBM host are issued in IBM s EBCDIC character set and use SNA Character
String (SCS) command structure. The 5250 Printer Emulation converts EBCDIC to ASCII and the SCS
command structure to the printer’s command structure (PCL, Epson, or Proprinter).
I-O also has included a number of advanced features in the I-O 5250 Printer Emulation. These include
the ability to send printer specific commands as part of the SCS data stream that the IBM host does not
know the printer is capable of performing. Other features include I-O’s bar code language, graphing
language, and even color support.
NOTE:CERTAIN DOT-MATRIX PRINTER FUNCTIONS SUCH AS BACK SPACE,BOLD,UNDERSCORE OR
OVERSTRIKE ARE NOT SUPPORTED THROUGH IBM’S TN5250E.FOR FORMS ALIGNMENT MESSAGES,
CHANGE THE FORM FEED OPTION IN THE HOST PRINTER CONFIGURATION TO *CONT.

Manager. Follow the instructions for Local Setup beginning on page 9 to configure using remote
access of the 2677e.
Configure the AS/400
TN5250e is an extension of the Telnet display and printer protocol used in the IBM AS/400 systems.
TN5250e is an auto configuring protocol on the AS/400. The 2677e provides you with several display
models for color or monochrome. The host will auto configure the display based on the model selected.
Printers are configured as a 3812-page printer.
I-O has customized their TN5250e printer emulation to include both laser and dot-matrix printer drivers
NOTE:CERTAIN DOT-MATRIX PRINTER FUNCTIONS SUCH AS BACK SPACE,BOLD,UNDERSCORE OR
OVERSTRIKE ARE NOT SUPPORTED THROUGH IBM’S TN5250E.FOR FORMS ALIGNMENT MESSAGES,
CHANGE THE FORM FEED OPTION IN THE HOST PRINTER CONFIGURATION TO *CONT.
To configure your AS/400 to support TN5250e, the AS/400 must meet the following requirements:
•Be running OS/400 V3R2 or newer, with the most recent applicable PTFs applied.
•Have the most recent version of the Telnet server installed on the AS/400.
•Have the AS/400’s auto configuration function turned on.
•Make certain that the AS/400 can create virtual devices and there are a sufficient number of devices
available to be created.
This is done using the AS/400 command:
CHGSYSVAL SYSVAL(QAUTOVRT) + VALUE(?)
The ? is the maximum number of user-created virtual devices that can be created.
•If the OS/400 version is earlier than V4R2, the Telnet server will need to be started using the
AS/400 command:
STRTCPSVR SERVER(*TELNET)
V4R2 and newer versions will automatically start the Telnet server.
After these requirements are met, the AS/400 (referred herein as IBM host or host) will automatically
configure the I-O 5250 display and printer sessions the first time you attempt to make a connection.
The IBM host will create a 3477FC or 3477FG display device or 3812 page printer device and assign
the host device name you entered when configuring the display and printer sessions.

Running Display and Printer Sessions
Starting Display Sessions
After the display station has been configured (either locally or remotely), the ProEdge Connection
Manager will show on the display. If you have selected the Connection Startup to automatically start the
display and or the printer, the sessions will be presented on the screen with the printer session running
in the background.
If the auto start option was not selected, from the Connection Manager, select the Connections tab and
either double click on the device or highlight the device and click on Connect to start the session.
If a sign-on screen is not presented, and the cursor is in the upper left hand corner, the host has not
accepted the request to connect. This can be caused by the following conditions:
•Incorrect IP address for the Host Name, reenter the proper IP address.
•Incorrect IP address for the 2677e (another device may have the same address) reenter a valid IP
address in the Control Panel, Network Connections (F2 from the Connection Manager).
•The host may not be set for auto-configuration, the system administrator will need to turn this on, or
manually configure a device.
•The host may not have enough virtual device sessions available, the system administrator will need
to increase the number of available sessions.
•The host may believe there is another device with the same name and IP address already active,
the system administrator will need to vary off the device and end the TCP/IP session (see
Troubleshooting for details on how to handle this issue).
TIP:SEE TROUBLESHOOTING FOR MORE INFORMATION ON CONNECTION ISSUES.
Starting the Printer Session
If the printer session has been configured to start automatically, it will start at the same time the display
sessions are started. Otherwise, manually start the session by selecting the Connections tab, highlight
the printer session and click on Connect to start the session. Leave the printer session running in the
background.
When the printer session has completed the startup process and has established a connection with the
host, the printer will automatically create on the host and start a writer.
NOTE:TELNET CREATES THE PRINTER WITH A 3812 EMULATION,THE 2677E WILL CONVERT THE DATA
FOR NON-PCL PRINTERS TO A 4214 EMULATION.
Re-Connect Sessions
There are three methods of reconnecting the 2677e to the host:
•When configuring the display and printer sessions, you can select Startup and check the
Automatically start the selected connection at startup option. When powering on the 2677e the
Connection Manager will automatically start the selected sessions.
•From the Connection Manager Connections tab, highlight the session and click on Connect to start
the selected session.
•From the Connections tab, double click on the desired session to start the emulation.


Disconnect Sessions
Sign off all display sessions, then click on File and Exit, or click on the X in the upper right corner of the
display screen for each display session.
Disconnect from the printer session by clicking on End Session.
NOTE:IF POWER SHUTS DOWN,THE HOST WILL KEEP THE TELNET SESSIONS OPEN FOR A PERIOD OF
ONE TO TWO HOURS AND WILL THEN AUTOMATICALLY END THE TELNET SESSIONS.
IF POWER IS ACCIDENTLY CYCLED WITHOUT SIGNING OFF,THE HOST WILL STILL HAVE OPEN TELNET
SESSIONS AND WILL NOT ALLOW THE DISPLAY STATION TO REESTABLISH THE CONNECTION AGAIN.SEE
TROUBLESHOOTING FOR THE RECOVERY PROCESS.
Display Operation
This chapter describes in detail the operation of the TN5250e display sessions.
The number of display sessions you configure is up to you, each with a different host if desired.
Configuration of the 2677e is accomplished either through the local Connection Manager, or remotely
using the I-O Configuration Utility. For information on using the Configuration Utility, refer to page 17,
Configuring the 2677e using the Configuration Utility.
Multiple Sessions
The display station can have as many display sessions as you desire connected to the same or different
hosts. You can switch from one session to another as needed. This is helpful when a session is
inhibited, as you can change to another session and work on a different application. To switch between
sessions, use the key sequence of ALT- Esc or use the mouse and click on another TeemTalk session
at the bottom of the screen.
The display emulation and display ID of the current session is displayed in the tool bar at the bottom of
the screen, just above the start/ session bar.
Status Line Indicators
Across the bottom of the screen are a series of indicators that let you know what the status of the
display station and/or current session is. In normal operation the status line will look something like this:
The T indicates a terminal session and along with the solid block indicates the current session is
communicating with its host. The green light on the left indicates the session is active, if red, the session
is not connected. The IBM-3477-FC indicates the display emulation of the selected session. The
DSP2677A is the display ID on the host.
The highlighted TeemTalk button on the bottom row indicates which display session is showing on the
terminal.
The blue Aindicates that Caps Lock is On. Clicking on the network connector displays the IP Address,
Subnet Mask and Gateway addresses. EN indicates the English language. Hover the mouse over the
time will display the day and date, clicking on the time will display the Certificates. Clicking the screen
ikon, will display the desktop.
Other indicators that may appear at other locations on the screen are:
