ETHERNET PRINT SERVER

To install and configure the RTEL software:

1.Log into the host machine as the super-user. Set your current directory to /tmp/rtel (or whichever directory the ETS software was initially loaded into).

2.Execute the RTEL install script by typing “./lpinstall” at your local prompt. This script will then prompt you for your machine type (SUN, SPARC, MIPS, HP, DEC, SCO, AIX, or OTHER) and the type of spooling system to install (lp or lpr). If you choose “OTHER” for your machine type, the EPS will ask you to enter the file suffix for the unsupported machine.

At the end of the lpinstall script you will see the message, “Installation of Reverse Telnet Application Package complete.”

3.After the lpinstall script has been executed, you may delete the /tmp/rtel directory tree. All files needed for normal system operation have been moved into the /usr/spool/rtel directory. Unless you need the space, we suggest leaving it (or moving it to an archive area) in case you need to make changes or you wish to refer to the source code.

7.5Setting up the RTEL Interfaces

The two methods of RTEL interfacing are described next. The printer- backend interface is described first. Because it is easy to configure and maintain, it is preferred for systems where only a printer interface is needed. If you need a special printer backend filter, or an application program needs to use a physical device, you will have to use the rteld interface.

Remember that you must set up the target services (if services are being used) and ports on the EPS to complete the configuration. Follow these steps:

1.Assign an IP address (SET/DEFINE SERVER IPADDRESS) to the EPS

2.Create the service (again, if services are being used) (SET/DEFINE SERVICE)

3.Make sure the port(s) is available to network connections ( DEFINE PORT DYNAMIC or REMOTE).
