Subject | IP Conversion Update #4 - Extensions with New Deadlines by Individual Application
Effective Date | 02/27/02
Notice Number | CM#0214
We are nearing the end � but there are still some firms that are not close enough to the mark! Because of the programming demands related to the recent Order Number field expansion and the expanded Trade ID format for GLOBEX, we are extending your IP conversions, one last time. To enable you to focus on one application at a time, we are setting forth a revised schedule for discontinuing access to the CME via SNA and SNI by application. Our hope is that if you can focus on one thing at a time, you can meet the deadlines!! The new deadlines will become effective starting March 4th. Please review the schedule listed below carefully. Of course, if you complete your conversion before the deadlines, that�s even better! Monday, March 4 � 3270 Telnet All 3270 traffic GUS, APS, TES ATOM etc.) should be via Telnet to 198.212.155.249. Port 23 on your network must be open to listen for 3270 Telnet traffic. All 3270 emulation (SNA) definitions will be removed.

Monday April 8th � VPS Printing You will access print files, using VPS software that will allow the CME to PUT files to an IP printer or AS/400 print queue, or print server. AS/400 users must ensure that their print queue is set to allow a record length of 133 characters. The Brand or Model of the printer must also be provided. Port 515 on your network must be open to listen for VPS files. If you print via Infopac, you will receive those reports via IP. Please be prepared to provide the CME with the print queue name(s) on your AS/400 or server and your IP address(s).
