LAT Network Configuration

Overview

TROY XCD print servers equipped with the LAT protocol are
compatible with the Digital Equipment DECserver family of
terminal servers. This means that if you are already familiar
with configuring DECservers or compatible terminal servers
in your network, you can use similar procedures to configure
the TROY XCD print server.

TROY XCD Print Server LAT Concepts

The TROY XCD print server is a node on the Ethernet that
offers a printing service to other nodes on the network. A
node is simply a device, such as a host computer, terminal
server, or print server. Every node on the network has a
unique name, so the TROY XCD print server comes
preconfigured with the name "XCD_" followed by the last six
digits of the Ethernet address (for example, "XCD_00C351").

The TROY print server comes preconfigured to run on a LAT
network without any additional setup. The configuration can
be changed if necessary by using the NCP, NCL, or ccr
facility on your host computer, or via the XConnect II or
XConnect 100 serial port; this procedure is described in
Appendix A of this manual. Note that in most cases it is not
necessary to change the configuration.
