4.0 Software Configuration
This chapter describes how to configure the host computer to tell it about your SpotLine terminal.
5.1 SCO XENIX/Unix
5.1.1 Use as a Telnet Session LAN Terminal
Ensure that you have a correctly working Ethernet controller card properly installed and the networking software configured. Ethernet and TCP/IP support is a standard part of all SCO releases.
For terminal only operation, no setup is needed at all on the host side, though your system administrator may feel more comfortable adding the terminal name and IP address to the /etc/hosts file. In fact, this including in /etc/hosts is required if you will be using a printer attached to the SpotLine as a system wide device. (See below).
5.1.2 Setting up the LAN Terminal for Printing
No special host setup is required if only local printing will be performed, or if printing will only take place under program control (see print commands in Ch 7).
If you wish to use a printer attached to the SpotLine M10 terminal in Telnet/LAN mode, perform the following: Add the terminal to your /etc/hosts file, for example:
194.2.32.54spot110_01
Start SCOADMIN.
