CHAPTER 6: EPS Configuration

refer to both physical ports. For example, you might want an AppleTalk service named “LAB_APPLE” and a NetWare service named “NETW_LASER,” both pointing to the serial port on the EPS. Both queues will accept jobs simultaneously, and jobs from both queues will print on the serial port in the order in which they were queued.

There are five major attributes for a service. All are settable via the SET/DEFINE SERVICE command. You can view current configuration via the SHOW/LIST SERVICE LOCAL CHARACTERISTICS command.

•Each service has a name that shows up under each protocol. In the examples above, Macintosh users would see “LAB_APPLE” under their Choosers, while NetWare users would reference “NETW_LASER” when configuring their queues. You can use the same name for all 4 protocols. The default service names are “EPS_xxxxxx_S1” and “EPS_xxxxxx_P1” for the serial and parallel ports, respectively. There is no service common to both ports by default. The “xxxxxx” will be the same as the last 6 characters of the server’s hardware address (on the rear of the unit).

•Each queue may have an identification string used by LAT to display a more verbose description of the service. An example identification string is “Laserprinter in Lab 17, fourth floor.” The description may be up to 40 characters long.

•A password can be associated with a service. This is only enforced under TCP/IP and LAT printing, since AppleTalk and NetWare have no method of providing this password. By default, there are no passwords on the EPS services.

•You can selectively enable or disable queueing and connections for each service. Disabling connections means that the service will still be advertised on the network, but connection attempts will fail. Disabling queueing will cause any print job request coming in while the service is in use to be rejected rather than queued. If queueing and connections are not enabled on services, unpredictable behavior under AppleTalk and NetWare can result.

•There is a protocol list associated with each service. By default, TCP/IP and NetWare are always enabled on both services. AppleTalk is not enabled on the parallel (EPS_xxxxxx_P1 service, and LAT is not allowed on either service. Since you can configure LAT hosts to connect directly to the physical ports, this only prevents LAT service connects, not all LAT access. If a protocol is not enabled on a service, users will not see that service from their nodes since the service announcements will be turned off.
