Lantronix ETS32PR manual LAT Configuration, Printing Directly to a Port, LAT Host Troubleshooting

7: LAT Configuration

The EZWebCon configuration software is the easiest way to configure the ETS. The following sections cover print configuration methods for LAT hosts.

Note: The ETS needs an IP address before you can use EZWebCon. .

To use LAT you must obtain a LAT license from your dealer or Lantronix and use the Set/Define Protocol LAT License command on your ETS. LAT print queues can be created by printing to a port or printing to a service. Printing directly to a port requires no ETS configuration.

Printing Directly to a Port

1. Create a LAT application port that references the ETS port.

Figure 7-1. Creating LAT Application Port

$ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:LATCP

LATCP> CREATE PORT LTAnnn/APPLICATION

LATCP> SET PORT LTAnnn/NODE=ETS_xxxxxx/PORT=Port_n

LATCP> EXIT

2. Create and start a print queue that uses the LAT application port.

Figure 7-2. Creating and Starting Print Queue

$

INITIALIZE/QUEUE/START/ON=LTAnnn:/PROCESSOR=LATSYM /RETAIN=ERROR queue_name

3.Add the commands to the SYS$MANAGER:LAT$STARTUP.COM file so the required LAT devices will be recreated after each host reboot.

Note: LAT terminal device characteristics may have to be changed to correctly print certain files. See your VMS documentation for more information.

4. Print to the queue.

LAT Host Troubleshooting

By default, the LAT error message codes on the host are not translated into text error messages. If a LAT job fails and appears in the queue with an eight-digit hex result code, the code can be translated by issuing the following commands:
