The 3494 used to be attached to an aix machine via serial port, and it was able to communicate to the library correctly.

You have to make sure that your ARTIC configuration supports a serial connection and that you are plugged into the proper host port first. You should be able to follow some general guidelines in the AIX configuration to get the connection going, as long as the 3494 is configured correctly. hth, bob On Wed, Aug 22, 2007 at 12:35:28PM -0500, Michael Read wrote: > does anyone know the proper configuration in ibmatl.conf for a serial > port in Windows for a connection to an IBM 3494 library manager. > > I apologize if this sounds like a stupid question, but I couldn't find > anything in my reference guides, or library manuals. all I could find > for serial connections was for aix.
