Using RCP
RCP is used as an alternative option (where LPD and ioland are not available). It is a Unix
only command set. A script is provided on the Perle CD for RCP.
Configuration
The following fields are important:
Field Description
Flow ctrl Set your IOLAN+ port flow control to Both. This will invoke
both Hardware (RTS/CTS) and XON/XOFF flow control on
IOLAN+. Then set your printer to use XON/XOFF. Use the
RS-232 cable pinout described in Appendix E Cabling, as
this will stop a print job if the printer is turned off or the cable
becomes detached.
Access Set this field to Remote. This sets the port of the terminal
server to listen for connections coming from the network.
There will be an INETD process running on the terminal
server that does the listening. You can check on the status of
this process by looking at the NETSTAT screen of the
terminal server’s Statistics Menu (or show net from CLI).
