Connecting PMS and printers using TCP/IP

Using the downloadable reliable session-layer protocol tool

The intent of the Reliable Session-Layer Protocol (RSP) is to guarantee delivery of data records from the switch to an output device that connects to the switch over an asynchronous TCP/IP link. The Downloadable RSP tool allows you to implement this protocol on a PC that collects data records in a file. The protocol assures that the data records arrive safely at the PC. You can then send the output file to a printer.

Setting up an RSP configuration

To set up an RSP configuration:

■Administer the PC as a client application on the switch.

■Download, install, and administer the RSP for the PC

Setting up the switch

To set up the server application on the switch:

■‘‘Administering IP node names’’ on page 131

Give the PC a node name. The IP address is the IP address of the PC that is running the RSP tool.

■‘‘Administering IP services’’ on page 132

The service type = SYS_PRNT, the Remote Node = the node name assigned to the PC. Remote port is the port assigned as the listen port on the PC. You can figure out what this is by starting the RSP Server application, clicking on Start, and checking in the output window to see what port the server is listening on.

Setting up the PC

To set up the client application on the PC you will be:

■‘‘Downloading RSP’’

■‘‘Installing RSP’’

■‘‘Administering RSP’’
