The AXEL Proprietary Network Servers
________________________________________________________________
TCP/IP AXEL Platine Terminal 73
8.3.1 - Platine/Device Association
Option 3 allows a Platine/Device Association to be added. Five parameters are
required:
- AXEL Server:
Select the required AXEL server (printd or ttyd) according to the
Terminal Set-Up of the Platine terminal.
- AXEL Platine:
Enter the name of the target Platine. If this name is not listed in the
/etc/hosts file, the axconf utility adds it, with its associated IP
address.
- TCP Port Number:
Enter the TCP Port Number for the auxiliary port to be used. This is the
number entered through the Platine terminal Set-Up.
- Device:
Enter the device type (pseudo-terminal or named pipe), then enter the
name of the device.
Note: if the printer is a pseudo-terminal, the device filename used should
be the master part name (such as /dev/ptypx).
- Logfile:
This optional file is used to record AXEL server events. Enter the logfile
name or press <RETURN> if logging is not required.
Every association created is stored in the file /etc/rc2.d/S90axel
(/etc/rc.axel under AIX). The associations are then made by running this
file automatically during system start-up
It is also possible to run the daemon immediately (so as not to wait until the
system is rebooted).
Note: to remove a Platine/Device association, use option 5.
The UNIX System can now access the peripheral, attached to the Platine
terminal, through the device controlled by the AXEL server.
Note: if this device is a pseudo-terminal, the slave part (/dev/ttypx) of the
device name must be used.
