CHAPTER 9 LAT NETWORK CONFIGURATION 9-1 9 CHAPTER NINE LA T Netw ork Conf iguration Printing fr om DEC LA T Systems Overview Brother print servers are equipped with the LAT protocol.
CHAPTER 9 LAT NETWORK CONFIGURATION 9-2 LA T Concepts A Brother printer server will be a node on the network that offers a printing service to other nodes on the network. A node is simply a device, such as a host computer, terminal server, or print server.
CHAPTER 9 LAT NETWORK CONFIGURATION 9-3 VMS LAT Host Configuration The configuration process requires that you have system manager privileges. Before starting the LAT configuration process, you must first make sure that LAT has been started on your system.
CHAPTER 9 LAT NETWORK CONFIGURATION 9-4 2. Use the VMS editor to create a text file with the necessary c onfiguration commands (alternatively, you may edit the file L A T$SYSTAR TUP.COM for VMS 5.5-x and later systems or LTLOAD.COM for earlier VMS systems).
CHAPTER 9 LAT NETWORK CONFIGURATION 9-5 3. Execute the command file you hav e just created by typing "@" plus the file name in response to the VMS "$" prompt (for example, @LATST ART.
CHAPTER 9 LAT NETWORK CONFIGURATION 9-6 Eliminating Blank P ages When printing through VMS, a blank page is often printed after each job. To eliminate this blank page, first create a text file with the following contents: <ESC>]V MS;2<ESC > where <ESC> is the esc ape character (ASCII 27) and " VMS" is in uppercase.
CHAPTER 9 LAT NETWORK CONFIGURATION 9-7 P A THWORKS f or DOS Configuration To configure the print server for PATHWO RKS for DOS: 1. Create a VMS queu e as previously described. 2. Run PCSA _MANAGER on the VMS system a. Type MENU to get the PCSA menu. b.

CHAPTER 9 LAT NETWORK CONFIGURATION 9-10 DECprint Supervisor Configuration Notes If you want to use the Brother print server with the DECprint Supervisor software, you must have the DC PS-Open option .
CHAPTER 9 LAT NETWORK CONFIGURATION 9-11 3. Edit the /etc/ttys file to add a line similar to the following for each LAT connection: tty0 5 "e tc/g etty std.9 600" vt1 00 o ff nomode m #LAT (substitute your actual tty number in place of "tty05").
CHAPTER 9 LAT NETWORK CONFIGURATION 9-12 6. You now need to establish a host-initiated connection. For example: lcp -h tty05:BR N_310107 :P1 7. Make the spool directory as shown in the followin g example: cd /usr/s pool mkdir l p1 chown d aemon lp 1 Again substitute your actual printer name for "lp1".
CHAPTER 9 LAT NETWORK CONFIGURATION 9-13 Installation on Other Host Computer s Installation procedures differ somewhat for other DEC operating systems (e.g., RSTS/E and RSX-11M- P LUS). Refer to the appropriate DE C documentation for information on setting up L A T print queues on these sy stems.

On V MS systems, you will need to have DEC NET running in order to use the remote console.
CHAPTER 12 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 12-11 On a NetWare net w orks, you can use the BR CONFIG utility which are included with every print server. If you are using the remote console, you will get the message Console connected (VMS) or Connection established ( BRCONFIG) or Remote co nsole reserved (ULTRIX).
CHAPTER 12 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 12-12 The leftmost group of digits in your IP address can identify the type of network you have. The value of this group ranges from 192 through 255 for Class C networks (e.g., 192.189.207. 3), 128 through 191 for Class B networks (e.
CHAPTER 12 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 12-13 Changing the IP Ad dress settings with the TELNET Console You can also use the T ELNET command to change the IP address. Using TELN ET is effective way, when you change the IP address. But a valid IP address must already be programmed into the print server.
