3. To connect a printer to the parallel port, change the DEVICE statement in the printer
initialization file to reference parallel port 0 (SEP0:). For example:
DEVICE=SEP0:
For information on printer initialization files and printer spoolers, see the
System Operator's Guide
for
your version of AMOS. For information on constructing cables to connect a printer to a parallel port, see
Appendix A.
Adding Jobs
When you increase the number of terminals connected to your computer, you also need to modify the
system initialization file so the system software knows what ports they are connected to and what jobs
they are attached to.
The steps below are necessary when you add an additional terminal to your computer. However,
one terminal and job are already defined and set up for you, and these steps are not necessary for
that first terminal.
Before adding jobs to your system, check the number of jobs that remain on your AMOS
license. To increase your AMOS user license, contact your VAR.
1. To add jobs to your system, make a copy of the initialization file, as discussed previously.
2. At the beginning of the TEST.INI file is a JOBS statement. The number following the JOBS
statement represents the total number of jobs on your computer.
If your computer has five jobs now and you want to add two more jobs, change the number in
the JOBS statement to 7 or more. For example:
JOBS 7
3. On the lines following the JOBS statement, there are one or more JOBALC statements. You can
define each job in a separate JOBALC statement, or you can define several jobs in the same
JOBALC statement by separating the jobnames with commas. For example:
JOBALC JOB4,JOB5
Each jobname—which can have up to six characters (A - Z, 0 - 9, $)—defines a job on your
computer. The total number of jobs defined in the JOBALC statements must be equal to or less
than the number in the JOBS statement above.
4. You also need to define the terminals you're going to attach to these jobs. The TRMDEF
statement defines the terminal characteristics and tells the computer which port on the back
panel it's connected to. Add any new TRMDEF statements after the last TRMDEF statement in
the file.
Here is a sample TRMDEF statement:
TRMDEF TERM2,AM318=1:19200,ALPHA,200,200,200,EDITOR=10
Using the sample, here's the information you must tell AMOS about a terminal:
•
TERM2 is the terminal name. You may use any name containing six or fewer letters
and/or numbers. Each terminal must have a different name.
