Configuring a DTC to enable a printer 8
6 For each DTC printer that you wish to permanently associate with a particular
device file, perform the following steps:
a Find the IP Address of the DTC, the board number, and port number on the
DTC to which the printer is connected.
b Choose the device file name for this printer. You can choose any name, but
you might want to include some board and port information, for example you
could choose
/dev/telnet/dtc1b3p2
to indicate that the device file name
is associated with port 2 on board 3 of dtc1.
c Edit the
/etc/ddfa/dp
file, using vi for example, and create an entry for
each printer in the file of the following form:
<DTC IP address> <board>/<port> <device file name> <port
config file>
The slash (/) must separate the board and port parameters.
Example
For a printer on board 3, port 2 of a DTC with the IP address is 192.101.23.45. You
would refer to this printer as
/dev/telnet/dtc1b3p2
. The entry in the dp file
would be:
Note For a DTC 16TN, the board number should be a
1
or
01
. The port values range from
0 to 15.
Each printer must have a pcf file associated with it. Several devices can have the
same pcf file, or they can each have a unique pcf file. Usually, the default pcf file is
sufficient for most applications or systems.
7 The file
/etc/ddfa/dp
is protected. In vi, to save your changes, use the
command wq!.
8 Implement your changes by entering the following command.
# /etc/dpp /etc/ddfa/dp -k
This executes the dedicated port parser (dpp) to scan the dp file and start up an
ocd (outgoing connection daemon) process for each entry in the dp file.
