Mackie V7.0 manual Defining the partner gateway, 221

Interoperability Gateways

The option -gagtw_port specifies which TCP/IP port number is to be used. The default is 9999.

i

The port number is very important as no two gateways with the same port number can run on a system at any one time.

The option -np TCP defines that the TCP/IP protocol is used. No other protocol can be specified. For the connection to other Xprint V7.0 domains the print protocol must be selected with the option -pp GIP2. With the -aaoption you can define that the gateway is activated automatically each time Xprint V7.0 is started.

Defining the partner gateway

A separate partner gateway must now be specified for each connection to another Xprint V7.0 domain. This partner gateway defines a logical connection to another host on another Xprint V7.0 domain. On this host, a gateway for the connection to the local gateway must also be configured (mirrored configu- ration). The partner gateway is configured using the following command:

xpadd -gtwspool_partner -tp PARTNER -hospool_host -gagtw_port \ -bllocal_gw -np TCP

This command configures a partner gateway named spool_partner which admin- isters the logical connection to a special Xprint V7.0 domain. For spool_partner any name can be used; it does make sense, however, to use a name which indicates to which Xprint V7.0 domain the gateway is configured. With the option -hospool_host you specify the name of the remote host on which the gateway to the other Xprint V7.0 domain is configured.

The option -gagtw_port specifies which TCP/IP port number is to be used. This number must correspond to that of the local gateway of the other Xprint V7.0 domain.

The partner gateway must be assigned with the -bllocal_gw option to the local gateway administering the physical connection. local_gw can represent a single gateway or a list of local gateways. The option -np TCP defines that the TCP/IP protocol is used. No other protocol can be specified.
