LAT Network Configuration
Overview
TROY XCD print servers equipped with the LAT protocol are compatible with the Digital Equipment DECserver family of terminal servers. This means that if you are already familiar with configuring DECservers or compatible terminal servers in your network, you can use similar procedures to configure the TROY XCD print server.
TROY XCD Print Server LAT Concepts
The TROY XCD print server is a node on the Ethernet that offers a printing service to other nodes on the network. A node is simply a device, such as a host computer, terminal server, or print server. Every node on the network has a unique name, so the TROY XCD print server comes preconfigured with the name "XCD_" followed by the last six digits of the Ethernet address (for example, "XCD_00C351").
The TROY print server comes preconfigured to run on a LAT network without any additional setup. The configuration can be changed if necessary by using the NCP, NCL, or ccr facility on your host computer, or via the XConnect II or XConnect 100 serial port; this procedure is described in Appendix A of this manual. Note that in most cases it is not necessary to change the configuration.
