LINCS Central Control

Disk Type
Selects the disk type.
• For a hard disk, you toggle to select the subdirectory you want.
• For a diskette, the type of directory on the diskette will be shown.
Source Disk Drive
Selects which disk drive is to be viewed. Drive C is the default drive for LINCS, but you
can also view floppy drives for data objects. Note that you will not get a list of files on
the drive, but only data objects.
Disk Drive Usage
The Disk Drive Usage portion of the panel displays how the Hard Drive is currently
allocated. This information is in the form of a snapshot at the time the hard drive is
displayed. LINCS does not allow you to reallocate memory usage on this panel, but
merely provides you the current allocation. The PF9 key is used to refresh the Disk
Drive Usage statistics.
System
The value displayed for System indicates how much of the hard drive is allocated for
use by the LINCS operating system. This value is normally set for 40960 Kbytes, although
it would be smaller if the installed hard drive has a smaller capacity than 40 MB. The
LINCS operating system will normally acquire the entire hard drive if the drive is less
than 40 MB. A special RPQ (Maximize User Disk Space) is available to limit the operating
system to 15 MB. This can be enabled on the RPQ configuration menu. You must
access the RPQ menu through the Configuration Menu (Panel_List).
Central Site Library
The value displayed for the Central Site Library is determined by the number of
(configuration) data objects stored there. Additional space is allocated every time a new
library member is saved as long as the space is available.
LPD Printers
LPD Printers storage space is allocated every time a print job is spooled onto the hard
drive, destined for a LAN-attached LPD printer. LINCS must keep this print job in a file
and advise the LPD print server the size of the job prior to getting permission to send it.
Once the print job has been successfully sent to the print server, the print file is purged
and the storage space is given back to Available storage area. Because of the transitional
nature of this storage, you will not normally see storage space allocated to LPD Printers
except when a print job is actually queued. The refresh key PF9 allows you to manually
refresh the current allocation figures. Use of the hard drive for spooling LPD print jobs
is determined by two configuration items. The first that must be enabled is on the TCP/
IP Options panel and is the LPD Server/Printers Drive option. This item allows the hard
drive to be used for LPD print job storage. The second configuration item that must be
configured is on the Network Device Definitions panel, where you must configure the
LPD Feature Memory to use the disk.
LPD Print Server
The storage space used for the LPD Print server is allocated whenever a print job is received
via the LPD Print Server feature for one of the LINCS printers. LINCS allocates the storage
