If you purchased the BARR/NJE or BARR/RJE module, you need hardware for communicating with the mainframe. This hardware must be installed in the server computer. The type of host connection hardware you need depends on your connection type: 802.2 LLC2, HPR/IP, SDLC, channel (for NJE only), or network. For BARR/NJE, if you have an SDLC host connection, you can purchase the corresponding hardware from Barr Systems. For network host connections (802.2 LLC2 or HPR/IP) or connections between computers, you must have network hardware from another vendor.
To use the BARR/PRINT TCP/IP module, you need network hardware for communicating with the TCP/IP host. This hardware must be installed in the computer running the BARR SpoolCore service.
