Technical data

To eliminate login dialog, set terminal characteristics for terminal devices by
using the following procedures in this order:
1. SYSGEN AUTOCONFIGURE
2. SYSTARTUP_VMS
3. DCPS$EXECUTION_QUEUE.COM
AUTOCONFIGURE uses SYSGEN parameters to set default terminal
characteristics for all terminal devices on the system. Your system will not
encounter the login dialog problem if SECURE_SERVER is set with SYSGEN.
The SYSGEN parameter that accomplishes this is TTY_DEFCHAR2. Refer
to the OpenVMS Upgrade and Installation Manual for information on setting
SYSGEN parameters.
The system startup procedure may also set terminal characteristics. Since this
command file executes prior to the printer startup file, your system will be less
vulnerable to the login dialog problem if SECURE_SERVER is set for printer
terminal devices within the SYSTARTUP_VMS file.
DCPS$EXECUTION_QUEUE.COM (the printer execution queue command file)
sets the SECURE_SERVER terminal characteristic for printer terminal devices
by default. This file is provided in the software kit.
If your printer is configured on a LAT device in a local area Ethernet, set
the LAT port and the terminal server characteristics for the printer to
minimize login dialog. Refer to the DECprint Supervisor for OpenVMS
Software Installation Guide for LAT port characteristics.
11.2 What to Do if a PrintServer Printer Is Not Printing
The following troubleshooting procedures can help you diagnose error
conditions that can occur during installation of DECprint Supervisor software
for PrintServer printers.
If the printer is not printing, check the OPCOM messages. If the cause of
the failure is not immediately apparent, check the queue characteristics, as
follows:
1. Execute the following instruction, inserting the name of the PrintServer
device queue:
$ SHOW QUEUE queue-name/FULL
