ENABLING IPDS

This procedure may have been completed by your service
representative during the installation of the IPDS card.  This
section provides the steps if you need to complete the process.

If you are using IPDS in a twinax environment, you can set the
twinax interface to respond as both an SCS printer (which must
be the primary device) and an IPDS printer (as the secondary
device). 

After you set up the primary device as SCS, download a Function
Selection via Line (FSL) command to identify the IPDS printer as
the secondary device at a different address.

Refer to figure 2–1, which shows the location of the address
switch, SYNC LED, and TEST button on the twinax interface card.

Table 2–1 lists each address switch and its corresponding printer
emulation.
