11-2 LAT Network Configuration
To use the TROY XCD print server with a VMS host
computer, you will first need to create a LAT application
port on the host. A LAT application port allows a program
to send and receive data over a LAT connection as if it were
communicating with a directly-connected physical port. You
will then need to associate a print queue with this port.
VMS LAT Host Configuration
The configuration process requires that you have system
manager privileges. Before beginning the LAT configura-
tion process, you must first make sure that LAT has been
started on your system. If you are currently using terminal
servers on your network, then LAT has probably already
been activated. If LAT is not started, then you need to
execute the following command before proceeding with
configuration of the TROY XCD print server:
@SYS$STARTUP:LAT$STARTUP
1. Before creating print queue, you will need to determine
the following:
• The VMS queue name. This can be any unique
name (do a
SHOW QUEUE command at the VMS
prompt to list the existing queues).
• The LAT application port. This name of this port
is LTAxxx, where "xxx" is any unused number (do
a
SHOW PORT command in the VMS LATCP
program to see the existing ports).
• The TROY XCD print server node name and
port name . The default node name is
XCD_xxxxxx, where "xxxxxx" is the last six digits
