I-Data ReRouter Product Features, IdaRCtrl, With connections to PCL 4/5 printers

Introduction ida ReRouter

ida ReRouter

The ida ReRouter consists of two main programs:

-idaRoute (LU 6.2 to TCP/IP ReRouter for OS/2)

The function of the idaRoute is to act as link between the Host (SNA environment) and the TCP/IP protocol. In this way the Host will assume that communication with an LU 6.2 device has been established. Based on the defined LU Alias (which must be the equivalent of the one defined in Communications Manager/2), the idaRoute sends print data and printer information transparently through the TCP/IP network.

-idaRCtrl

Control program for idaRoute with two functions:

-setting up the routes

-showing the status of the defined routes (active/inactive)

Status of the defined route names will appear from the status field in the idaRoute main screen. (See the idaRoute main screen on page 15).
