The AXEL Proprietary Network Servers
________________________________________________________________
68 TCP/IP AXEL Platine Terminal
printd Server - Piobe Monitoring (AIX only):
The main advantage of this method of monitoring is that no UNIX device is
used.
Note: the rprint server works in the same way.
8.1.6 - Caution
The Platine terminal is not operating as a simple terminal but as a print and tty
server. So, caution must be used in switching off the Platine terminal.
The best way is never to switch off the Platine terminal (like a terminal server).
However there is no reason why the VGA monitor should not be switched off.
If you want to switch off the Platine terminal:
- check no printing is in progress,
- check no application is running on any serial terminal attached to the
Platine terminal. Each serial terminal should be displaying a login
message.
8.1.7 - Configuration
To run an AXEL server, proceed as follows:
- set the AX3000 Terminal Set-Up,
- configure the UNIX System through the AXEL utility (/etc/axconf).
