Conﬁguring and Managing LAT Services

$! This command procedure sets up the local characteristics of the

$! applications devices for remote printers and sets up the print

$! queues for these remote printers. These devices should have been

$! set up previously by the LTLOAD.COM command file. NOTE: The queue

$! manager must be running before executing this file.

$! Set up local characteristics for the applications devices.

$SET TERM LTA1925: /PERM /DEVICE=LNO3 /WIDTH=60 /NOBROAD- / SPEED=4800

$! Set the protection on the devices so that only the symbiont can

$! access them. $! $SET PROT=(S:RWLP,O,G,W) /DEVICE LTA1925:

On a VAXcluster system, you can conﬁgure the applications ports on the local

node only. However, you should do so on at least two nodes so that a redundant

path to the printer is available in the event of a cluster node failure.

To set up a remote-printer applications port on a cluster node, include the LAT

control program CREATE PORT and SET PORT commands for that port in the

node’s LTLOAD.COM ﬁle in the SYS$MANAGER directory. For complete

information about setting up remote printing on VAXcluster systems, refer to the

VMS VAXcluster manual in the OpenVMS documentation set.

Setting Up a LAT Remote Print Queue on an ULTRIX System

To set up a LAT remote print queue on an ULTRIX host, specify the access server

name and the port name by using one of the following:

• An lcp command

• An entry in the /etc/printcap ﬁle

After you specify the access server name and the port name, set up a spool

directory and test the printer.
