DEC LAT Network Configuration
The TROY print server acts as a node on an Ethernet network that offers
printing services to other devices. The print server comes preconfigured to run
on a LAT network and does not require any additional setup.
Each print server has a default node name of _
xxxxxx
(where “
xxxxxx
” are
the last six digits of the Ethernet address of the unit). The port name is P1
for the EIO, MIO, or first parallel port; S1 for the first serial port, P2 for the
second parallel port, and S2 for the second serial port.
VMS LAT Host Configuration:
1. Use the VMS editor to create a text file with the necessary
configuration commands to create a LAT application port and then a
VMS print queue. For example:
$MCR LATCP
CREATE PORT LTA
xx
:/APPLICATION
SET PORT LTA
xx
:/NODE=
nodename
/PORT=
port
SHOW PORT LTA
xx
:
EXIT
$SET TERM LTA
xx
:/PASSTHRU/PASSALL/-
TAB/NOBROADCAST/PERM
$SET DEVICE/SPOOL LTA
xx
:
$INIT/QUEUE/START/ON=LTA
xx
:/-
PROC=LATSYM
queuename
Note:
LTAxx
is the available LAT port to be used
nodename
is the node name of the print server
port
is the port, e.g. P1, S1, P2, S2 & LN
queuename
is any unique name for the print queue.
2. Execute the command file. At the VMS “$” prompt
type:
@
