6: LAT Configuration
The EZWebCon configuration software is the easiest way to configure the MPS. The fol- lowing sections cover print configuration methods for LAT hosts.
Note: The MPS needs an IP address before you can use EZWebCon. See Setting the IP Address on page
LAT print queues can be created by printing to a port or printing to a service. Printing directly to a port requires no MPS configuration.
Note: Printing directly to a port is the easiest method for printing to the MPS. If you would like instructions for printing to a service, see the Print Server Reference Manual located on the
6.1 Printing Directly to a Port
1Create a LAT application port that references the MPS port.
Figure 6-1: Creating LAT Application Port
$ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:LATCP
LATCP> CREATE PORT LTAnnn/APPLICATION
LATCP> SET PORT LTAnnn/NODE=MPS_xxxxxx/PORT=Port_n
LATCP> EXIT
2Create and start a print queue that uses the LAT application port.
Figure 6-2: Creating and Starting Print Queue
$ INITIALIZE/QUEUE/START/ON=LTAnnn:/PROCESSOR=LATSYM /RETAIN=ERROR queue_name
3Add 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 cor- rectly print certain files. See your VMS documentation for more in- formation.
4Print to the queue.
