Server Configuration Creating Services
4 - 7
In order, the commands in Figure 4-14 :
1. Enable group 1 and groups 2 through 5 on the server and assign them to any
local services.
2. Define the port so it can access groups 1, 4, and 7. When a port logs in, all of its
authorized groups are usable.
NOTE: For more information on port settings, see Chapter 5 .
3. Name the port.
4. Log the port out so that the Define commands take effect.
5. Create a service “printer” on the port that allows connections and queueing by
default, and enable the server send out an identification string in network mul-
ticasts.
6. Save the service so that it will be enabled after the next server reboot.
NOTE: Group codes only apply to LAT connections. They have no effect on the other proto-
cols supported by the RapidPrint 500 (AppleTalk, LAN Manager, NetWare, and
TCP/IP).
4.6.3 TCP/Telnet Service Sockets
The TCPport and Telnetport service options allow you to configure a TCP socket associated with a
service. Connections to that socket number are mapped to the service. As long as the service rating
is non-zero (that is, providing a port is available to handle the TCP connection), TCP connections
to the socket are accepted.
The Telnetport and TCPport options are identical, except that Telnetport will perform Telnet IAC
interpretation on the data stream, while TCPport treats the connection as a raw data pipe. Neither
provides for queueing—if the service is unavailable, the TCP connection is rejected.
4.6.4 Enabling Other Service Options
In addition to the TCPport and Telnetport service options, seven other print-related options can be
enabled on a service:
Table 4-1: Service Options
Option Functionality
AppleTalk If enabled, allows AppleTalk users to see this service. Macintosh
computers, for example, will see the service name in their Choos-
ers if they are on the same zone/network as the
RapidPrint 500
.
Note that all AppleTalk enabled services on the
RapidPrint 500
are assumed to be LaserWriter printers running PostScript. There
is no way to support non PostScript devices (like ImageWriters
and modems).
Banner If enabled, provides a banner page before service data is sent to
the port. Note that the host software may still provide its own
banner page regardless of the
RapidPrint 500
service setting.
This option should not be used with PostScript.
