Configuration of Specific Types of Devices As LAT Services

Introduction

This section provides examples of configuring the following types of devices as LAT services:

A personal computer (as both a LAT service and a terminal)

A computer

A modem

A printer

When you configure each type of device, you need to determine if the devices use SIGNAL CONTROL or MODEM CONTROL. For additional information, refer to Specifying MODEM CONTROL and SIGNAL CONTROL in Chapter 10.

Configuring a Personal Computer As a Terminal and LAT Service

The following example shows a sample configuration of a personal computer (PC) used as a terminal and a LAT service. With the port set to ACCESS DYNAMIC, the PC can switch between terminal emulation mode and file transfer mode.

When a PC is configured as a terminal, you can use the connect command to use a printer service. To do this, the PC must have an application program that provides file transfer capabilities.

Example: Configuring a PC As a Terminal and LAT Service
