4.5 RTEL Functionality

If the LPR method of printing is not adequate for an application (for example, if you need banners before jobs, or more ßexibility), conÞgure the Lantronix-supplied RTEL software on the host. After installing the software conÞguring the connections to the MPS, you can use normal UNIX print commands and queue utilities such as lpc and lpstat.

NOTE: RTEL binaries are provided for many systems. Source code is also pro- vided for use on non-supported systems.

To print to the MPS using special formatting or using third-party software packages, you may have to create Òprint pipesÓ on the host. The RTEL software provides this functionality by providing a UNIX named-pipe interface.

To recreate the RTEL source Þles:

1.Copy the Þle RTEL_SRC.TAR from the distribution CD-ROM to the UNIX host. Ensure that a binary copy is performed.

2.Untar the archive.

3.See the README Þles in the created directories that describe the contents of the RTEL distribution and man pages that describe the actual software functionality.
