The IP-B2APRT application may also be used with the IP-SPOOL application which enables the
sharing of one physical RFC 1179 compatible printer among many devices. Instead of to physical
printer, the
PRT
command points to a “virtual” printer of the IP-SPOOL application. The IP-
SPOOL application defines the actual physical, but now shared printer. For the
PRT
command,
dest
is the IP address of the DT-6XXX on which the IP-SPOOL application is installed and
dport
is the TCP port which is equal to 30000+ (
instance#
- 1)*200. where instance# is the number of
the instance, i.e. of the virtual printer on the IP-SPOOL application on the target DT-6XXX.

RM
Syntax: rm <host | prt>
Should a situation occur where the TCP connections to either the Host or the ASCII printer needs
to be taken down or altered, the connection should first be removed from service. That is the
function of the
remove
command.
The
rm (remove
)
command requires one argument. This argument is either
host
or
prt
. When
the argument is
host
, the TCP connection to the BHI is taken down. When the argument is
prt
,
the TCP connection to the ASCII printer interface is taken down.

RS
Syntax: rs <host | prt>
In order for any connectivity between the BHI Host, and the ASCII printer to occur, two TCP
connections are required. These are configured using the
bsc
and
asc
for the host and printer
respectively. After the addressing is configured, each connection needs to be brought into
service. That is the function of the
restore
command.
The
rs (restore
)
command requires one argument. This argument is either
host
or
prt
. When the
argument is
host
, the TCP connection to the BHI is established. When the argument is
prt
, the
TCP connection to the ASCII printer interface is established.

VFY
Syntax: vfy
The
vfy
command is only visible when the application is logged in. The command is used to
display the configured options on the IP-B2APRT application. An example of the output of the
vfy
command is shown previously on page 11.

DCONN
Syntax: dconn
The
dconn
command is used to display all of the current TCP connections on the IP-B2APRT
application. The command will issue a report that shows the connection peer for each active
connection.
