10.2.2 LAT and AppleTalk Conﬁguration

To create a LAT device for use by a DCPS queue, you can use either of the

following sets of values for LATCP qualiﬁers:

• /NODE=nodename /PORT=PORT_1

• /SERVICE=service

where nodename is the printer’s NIC nodename and service is the name of a

valid service on the printer. These values can be obtained from the printer

NIC’s status page or by logging in to the NIC via Telnet or LAT. For example,

this command shows the printer NIC’s nodename to be PRQ_00001F:

Local_4> show server

NET16 Version V1.0/1(990126) Uptime: 23:17:07

Hardware Addr: 00-50-27-00-00-1f Name/Nodenum: PRQ_00001F/ 0

Ident String: NET16

To create a DCPS queue using AppleTalk, you must use a service name. You

can use one of the default services, modify a default service or create your own.

The following is an example of a service that can be used by both LAT and

AppleTalk. In this example, DCPS_LN16 is the AppleTalk name.

Local_4> list service dcps_ln16

Create AppleTalk services with caution, as creating the same service name

on more than one printer will result in multiple printers using the same

AppleTalk name on your network.

Refer to the printer’s Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) Reference Manual

for more information about setting characteristics of printer services.
