I-Data instruction manual Ida ReRouter in a Token Ring environment

Introduction ida ReRouter

From the ida ReRouter, printer data will be passed transparently through the TCP/IP protocol and repacked into the format of a bi-directional TCP/IP protocol called “PPR/PPD” ( Page Printer RemotePage Printer Daemon).

In the following is illustrated how the ida ReRouter could be applied. See Fig. 1.2: "ida ReRouter in Token Ring Environment" and

Fig. 1.3: "ida ReRouter in Ethernet Environment".
