IBM 2771 V.90 Two-port WAN IOA for iSeries AS400

IBM 2771 V.90 Two-port WAN IOA for iSeries AS400 systems is a 2-line WAN with modem, includes a V.90 integrated modem on port 1 and a standard communications interface on port 2. To use port 2 of the 2771 adapter, an external modem with the appropriate cable is required. The IBM 2771 can have 21P4152, 04N4519 and 04N4520 part numbers.

Configuring the IBM 2771 and IBM 2772 with Facsimile Support
The IBM 2771 and 2772 are both V.90 Socket modems. The 2771 has one RJ11 that can be used for a fax port and an RS232 RVX port where you can attach a 7852-400 modem. The 2772 has two RJ11 ports and cannot have an external modem attached.

IBM 2771 and 2772 Requirements:
IBM OS400 V5R1 or later is required.

Prior to configuring a fax description, run the CHGNETA MDMCNTRYID(xx) command where xx is the country code. For example, US for United States: CHGNETA MDMCNTRYID(US)

Note: If you do not run this command, the line will fail with message CPF5260 when starting fax support. You must change the attribute to US, and vary off and on the fax line before starting. If you are transitioning to the 2771 or 2772 and have previous configurations you no longer want to use, you must ENDFAXSPT and then delete them by using the DLTFAXD command. If you would like to have a copy of the previous configuration, use the PRTFAXCFG command which will generate a spooled file.

 Configuring the Modem for Faxing
On an operating system command line, type the following: CRTFAXD LINKTYPE(*ASYNC) LIND(FAXLINE1) RSRCNAME(xxxxx)
where xxxxx is resource name; for example CMN04 as shown below. Press the Enter key.

If you are unsure of the resource name, issue the WRKHDWRSC *CMN command to find the 2771 resource:

CMB04 284C Operational Combined function IOP
LIN12 2771 Operational Comm Adapter
CMN04 2771 Operational Comm Port <--- resource="" name="" needed="" span="">
LIN011 2771 Operational V.24 Port

or

CMB04 284C Operational Combined function IOP
LIN12 2771 Operational Comm Adapter
CMN04 2772 Operational Comm Port <--- resource="" name="" needed="" span="">
CMN05 2772 Operational Comm Port <--- resource="" of="" second="" port="" span="">

After completing the CRTFAXD command, the following command is needed: ADDFAXCRD FAXD(FAXD01) FAXCRD(FAX1) FAXTYPE(*BOTH)

Note: ECM (Error Correction Mode) is not supported.

Here is an example of the configuration for both ports on a 2772: CRTFAXD LINKTYPE(*ASYNC) LIND(FAXLINE01) RSRCNAME(CMN04) FAXD(FAXD01) FAXASCDEV(FAXASC01) ADDFAXCRD FAXD(FAXD01) FAXCRD(FAX1) FAXTYPE(*BOTH)

Press the Enter key.

CRTFAXD LINKTYPE(*ASYNC) LIND(FAXLINE02) RSRCNAME(CMN05) FAXD(FAXD02)
FAXASCDEV(FAXASC02) ADDFAXCRD FAXD(FAXD02) FAXCRD(FAX1) FAXTYPE(*BOTH)

Press the Enter key.

Note: The Fax description and the Fax asynchronous device name should end in the same number. The FAXCRD parameter on the ADDFAXCRD command will always be FAX1 for this configuration (no matter what the FAXD ends in).
