LPD

In most cases, local print options such as header and trailer banner pages, and input or output filters are ignored. If this limitation is not acceptable, install the printer using the Emulex RPRINT remote printing utility.

Configure LPD on a BSD UNIX Host

The following procedure uses native LPD print protocol on a BSD UNIX host (SunOS or ULTRIX) with the printer server. The procedure for other UNIX systems such as Solaris, AIX or SCO is completely different (See UNIX documentation for details).

IMPORTANT: This procedure assumes you want to print to a single port using the LPD protocol.

1)Enter:

> #ps -ax grep -v grep grep lpd

This will determine if LPD is supported on the system. If the system does not return a process number for LPD, use RPRINT as described above. If LPD is supported, proceed as follows:

2)On the host, edit the /etc/printcap file to contain a similar entry:

For example, to send text (non-PostScript) files to port 1:

>#LJ4_PCLHP_LaserJet_4port_1:\

:lp=:\

:rm=node_name:\ :rp=TEXT:\ :mx#0:\ :lf=/usr/spool/lpd/ERRORLOG:\ :sd=/usr/spool/lpd/LJ4_PCL:

Its support for virtualization allows for improved resource allocation, making it ideal for contemporary data center environments.

The NJ01B-NT+ complements the NQGB-NT+ with additional features aimed at improving resilience and reliability. It supports Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), which allows for the convergence of storage and data networks into a unified fabric. This not only simplifies infrastructure but also reduces overall costs and power consumption. The NJ01B-NT+ is particularly beneficial for enterprises looking to streamline their network operations while maintaining top-tier performance.

Moving on to the NQ0V-NT+, this adapter focuses on multi-protocol capabilities, enabling users to manage various network protocols within a single environment. It includes advanced features such as iSCSI offload, which enhances performance for storage area networks (SANs). Its ability to support multiple protocols makes it a versatile choice for businesses with diverse networking needs.

The NQTR0U-NATM adapter provides additional innovation by incorporating SmartNIC technology. This enables onboard processing capabilities, offloading tasks from the server CPU, which enhances overall system performance. With features that support container-based workloads and network functions virtualization (NFV), this adapter is well-suited for modern applications that require scalability and flexibility.

Finally, the NP02 module is designed with a focus on energy efficiency and high availability. It incorporates industry-leading technologies that ensure minimal downtime and optimal performance in mission-critical environments. Its advanced monitoring and management capabilities allow administrators to maintain control over their network resources, ensuring that systems run smoothly and efficiently.

Together, these Emulex network adapters deliver a comprehensive suite of features that enable businesses to optimize their network infrastructure for performance, reliability, and efficiency. With an emphasis on multi-protocol support, virtualization, and energy efficiency, Emulex products are ideal for today’s demanding data center environments. Whether for enhancing connectivity, reducing latency, or improving resource allocation, these adapters showcase Emulex's commitment to delivering high-quality networking solutions.
