CHAPTER 9 LAT NETWORK CONFIGURATION 
9-2
 
 
VMS LAT Host Configuration 
 
 
 
The configuration process requires that you have system manager privileges. 
Before starting the LAT configuration 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, you need to execute the following command before proceeding: 
 
@SYS$STARTUP:LAT$STARTUP 
 
1.  Before creating a 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.  The 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 print server node name and port name .  The default node 
name is BRN_xxxxxx, where "xxxxxx" is the last six digits of the 
MAC address (Ethernet address), for example, BRN_310107). You 
can see the name of your print server by printing out a configuration 
page: 
 
You can find the node name and MAC address by printing out the printer 
configuration page. Refer to the User’s Guide for information on how to print the 
configuration page on your print server. 
 
If you wish to use a different node name, use the BRAdmin application or a web 
browser to change the name. 
 
 
2.  Use the VMS editor to create a text file with the necessary configuration 
commands (alternatively, you may edit the file LAT$SYSTARTUP.COM 
for VMS 5.5-x and later systems or LTLOAD.COM for earlier VMS 
systems). For instance, the following sample command file creates a queue 
named XJ on LAT port 33 for a print server with a default node name of 
BRN_310107 using the LATSYM processor and the default VMS form:
