Lantronix LPS1-T, MPS100, LPS1-2 manual LAT Configuration, Printing Directly to a Port

6: LAT Configuration

The EZWebCon configuration software is the easiest way to configure the MPS. The fol- lowing sections cover print configuration methods for LAT hosts.

Note: The MPS needs an IP address before you can use EZWebCon. See Setting the IP Address on page 4-1 for instructions.

LAT print queues can be created by printing to a port or printing to a service. Printing directly to a port requires no MPS configuration.

Note: Printing directly to a port is the easiest method for printing to the MPS. If you would like instructions for printing to a service, see the Print Server Reference Manual located on the CD-ROM.

6.1 Printing Directly to a Port

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

Figure 6-1:Creating LAT Application Port

$ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:LATCP

LATCP> CREATE PORT LTAnnn/APPLICATION

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

LATCP> EXIT

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

Figure 6-2:Creating and Starting Print Queue

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

3Add 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 cor- rectly print certain files. See your VMS documentation for more in- formation.

4Print to the queue.
