Technical data

In the command format, you supply the following values:
LTAd: Name of the application port
server_name Name assigned to the LAT device
port_name LAT device’s port name
The following example associates application port LTA9000: with port
PORT_7 on a remote DECserver 200 named LN03RDS:
$ SET PORT LTA9000:/NODE=LN03RDS/PORT=PORT_7/QUEUE/APPLICATION
If the LAT device is dedicated to printing services, you can define the LAT
connection for the printer in the DCPS$STARTUP.COM file. This makes it
easier for you to solve configuration problems because all the information
is in one file. However, if the LAT device also supports devices other than
printers, you should define the port in the LAT$SYSTARTUP.COM file.
3. To make a successful LAT connection, you must make sure the following
lists of groups have at least one LAT group in common:
• On the LAT port, authorized groups and current groups
• On the service node, enabled groups
If you did not set up these groups correctly, you receive the following error
message when a print job is submitted:
%DCPS-E-LRJACCESSDENIED, Access denied
You can use LATCP commands to include the necessary LAT group
designations. For additional information, refer to the OpenVMS System
Management Utilities Reference Manual.
Note
This information is not required for the DECserver 90L device.
2.1.2.2.4 Setting the Communications Speed Make sure the serial printer
communications speed is set to the default (9600 baud). If you want the printer
to run at a different baud rate, use the following procedure.
If the printer is on a DECserver device, use the following steps:
1. Set the printer to the appropriate baud rate (see your printer hardware
installation guide).
2. Set the DECserver communications speed (see your terminal server
installation guide).
