Overview

There are four types of printers that can be used with the COMSPHERE 6800 Series NMS. These printers, and the functions they serve, are briefly summarized below:

•Fujitsu DL5600. The Fujitsu DL5600 is intended to serve as the NMS system printer. The function of the system printer is to print out copies of reports, command results, and screen information. It has both serial and parallel interfaces.

•Fujitsu DL3400. The Fujitsu DL3400 can be used instead of the DL5600 as the system printer. It has a parallel interface.

•Fujitsu DL3600. The Fujitsu DL3600 replaces the DL3400 and can be used in place of the DL5600 as the system printer. It has a parallel interface.

•Fujitsu DX2300. The Fujitsu DX2300 can be used as either the alert log printer or dedicated ATR (Automatic Trouble Report) printer. The alert log printer prints out the alerts sent from devices monitored by the NMS. The dedicated ATR printer prints out the automatic trouble reports that are sent to the Paradyne technical assistance center. It has a serial interface.

•C.ITOH C-240. The C.ITOH C-240 replaces the Fujitsu DX2300 as the alert log printer or dedicated ATR (Automatic Trouble Report) printer. The alert log printer prints out the alerts sent from devices monitored by the NMS. The dedicated ATR printer prints out the automatic trouble reports that are sent to the Paradyne technical assistance center. It has serial and parallel interfaces. Additionally the C.ITOH C-240 can be used as a local copy printer. For more information, refer to the COMSPHERE 6800 Series Network Management System Local Copy Printer Support Feature, Document Number 6800-A2-GZ47.

Before the printers can be connected to the host processor, some of their default settings must be modified to satisfy NMS requirements. The pages that follow explain how to do this. (For instructions on connecting these printers to the host processor, see Chapter 4, Connecting the Components.)
