Standard Print Servers
________________________________________________________________
40 TCP/IP AXEL Platine Terminal
This chapter provides the information needed to use printers attached to a
Platine terminal.
The lpd and rcmd utilities allow standard monitoring of network printers.
This chapter provides information for installing and using these utilities to
control printers attached to the Platine terminal.
Note: the auxiliary ports of the Platine terminal can be also controlled by three
AXEL proprietary servers. Written in C language, these servers may be
compiled and linked (for the UNIX System in use) if the executable binary files
are not available. Refer to the Chapter 7 for installation and use of these
servers.
Use of lpd or rcmd is a two-stage process:
- AX3000 Terminal Set-Up configuration,
- UNIX System configuration.
5.1 - SET-UP THE PLATINE TERMINAL
Terminal Set-Up can be used to establish a monitor on the auxiliary port (lpd
service, rcmd service or others) and to set communication parameters for the
two serial ports.
From an active session, press <Ctrl><Alt><Esc> to enter Terminal Set-Up.
5.1.1 - Selecting Port Monitoring
Press <F5> to set the 'Terminal Mode' set-up screen.
