Configuring a Printer with Unannounced Availability

Configuring a Printer with Unannounced Availability

Introduction

This section describes how to configure a printer with unannounced availability. The only users that know about the device’s availability are those users that you tell about the device. By defining a port name and not a service name, you can configure a device on the access server for access by users on a LAT network.

Configuring a Printer with Unannounced Availability

The example in this topic shows a sample configuration of a printer with unannounced availability on a LAT network. You must configure the device and port characteristics, as described in Chapter 9, before performing this procedure. The following are variables in the example that you should substitute with the appropriate values:

Access server port number

Authorized and service groups

Port name

You should change the port name to a descriptive term. This term should describe the resource provided (for example, printer or file transfer). The port name must be unique on the access server and follow the naming conventions described in the Network Access Server Command Reference.

Substitute MODEM CONTROL for SIGNAL CONTROL if your access server supports MODEM CONTROL.

Reference

For a description of each command, refer to the Network Access Server Command Reference.

Note

Not all commands can be combined on one line.
