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 conne cts to the switch
over an asynchronous TCP/IP link. The Downloada ble RSP tool allows you to
implement this protocol on a PC that collects data re cords 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 s witch.
■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 th e 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’’
