Mackie manual Gateways to other Xprint V7.0 domains, Activating the gateway connection, 219

Interoperability Gateways

In this case only the value ALL needs to be specified with the -agoption. Therefore, the + character is not specified after the -agoption in the example above.

i

Please note that when the option -ag ALL is used, any partner gateway added is automatically given the permission to contact the local gateway.

Activating the gateway connection

To be able to print via the gateways, the corresponding local gateway must be activated. Activation with the xpchange command can be effected on several levels: you can allow only the export of print jobs via the assigned partner gateways, only the import from these gateways, or both. The following command allows both the import and export of print jobs:

xpchange -gtw local_gw

If only the import of print jobs is to be allowed, you can use the -gi ON option; to only allow the export, use the -go ON option.

Example

To configure a gateway connection from the local host nashua to the lpd spooler of the BSD-UNIX system picasso:

xpadd -gtw GTW_nashua -tp LOCAL -ga 515 -ho hudson -np TCP \ -pp BSD -aa

xpadd -gtw GTW_picasso -tp PARTNER -ho picasso -ga 515 \ -bl GTW_nashua -np TCP -pp BSD

xpmod -gtw GTW_nashua -ag+ GTW_picasso xpchange -gtw GTW_nashua

7.3.4Gateways to other Xprint V7.0 domains

Xprint V7.0 also allows you to establish gateway connections between independent Xprint V7.0 domains. This makes it possible to distribute the administration tasks in fairly large networks, for example at department level by assigning each department its own Xprint V7.0 domain with an Xprint V7.0 administrator of its own.

A connection between the individual domains can then be established via gateways.

The following figure shows the basic structure of such a gateway connection and the possibilities it offers:
