7: LAT Configuration

The EZWebCon configuration software is the easiest way to configure the ETS. The following sections cover print configuration methods for LAT hosts.

Note: The ETS needs an IP address before you can use EZWebCon. .

To use LAT you must obtain a LAT license from your dealer or Lantronix and use the Set/Define Protocol LAT License command on your ETS. LAT print queues can be created by printing to a port or printing to a service. Printing directly to a port requires no ETS configuration.

Printing Directly to a Port

1. Create a LAT application port that references the ETS port.

Figure 7-1. Creating LAT Application Port

$ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:LATCP

LATCP> CREATE PORT LTAnnn/APPLICATION

LATCP> SET PORT LTAnnn/NODE=ETS_xxxxxx/PORT=Port_n

LATCP> EXIT

2. Create and start a print queue that uses the LAT application port.

Figure 7-2. Creating and Starting Print Queue

$

INITIALIZE/QUEUE/START/ON=LTAnnn:/PROCESSOR=LATSYM /RETAIN=ERROR queue_name

3.Add the commands to the SYS$MANAGER:LAT$STARTUP.COM file so the required LAT devices will be recreated after each host reboot.

Note: LAT terminal device characteristics may have to be changed to correctly print certain files. See your VMS documentation for more information.

4. Print to the queue.

$ PRINT/QUEUE=queue_name filename.txt

LAT Host Troubleshooting

By default, the LAT error message codes on the host are not translated into text error messages. If a LAT job fails and appears in the queue with an eight-digit hex result code, the code can be translated by issuing the following commands:
