Raw TCP Ports
TROY XCD print servers provide a raw TCP port capability that can be used by any application that can open and send data to a TCP port. The port number is 9100 (238C hex) for the parallel port, or 9101 for the XConnect II and XConnect 100 first serial port, and 9102 for XConnect 100 second parallel port. The ports pass data through unmodified, so there is no TELNET interpretation provided. When using the raw TCP ports, make sure that TELNET interpretation is disabled in your software or else you may get distorted printouts.
The raw TCP port is compatible with many popular software packages, including HP's JetDirect software for UNIX, TGV Multinet (streams mode), IBM AIX for the RS/6000 (V3.25 or later), and any
The HP JetDirect software for UNIX is available for Sun Solaris, SunOS, and HP/UX. HP printer users can download these utilities from HP's web site (http://www.hp.com or FTP site (ftp.hp.com).
To use an TROY XCD print server with the HP host printing utilities on an HP/UX or Sun system:
1.Download the software from the HP web site or FTP site.
2.If the download file is in tar format, use the tar xvf filename command to extract the software, where filename is the name of the software that you downloaded (you must be logged in as root). If the file is in pkgadd format, use the pkgadd
