CHAPTER 9 LAT NETWORK CONFIGURATION

If you want to use the Brother print server with the DECprint Supervisor 
software, you must have the DCPS-Open option in order to support Brother 
printers (you may also need to modify the DCPS device control modules and 
queue setup to handle "unrecognized" printers). Do not use the SET SERVICE 
RECEIVE command because bi-directional communications is required for 
DCPS. 
 
Operation of the print server under ULTRIX is similar in concept to VMS in that 
you must create a LAT application port and associate a print queue with that port 
(note that ULTRIX can alternatively be configured with TCP/IP as described in 
Chapter 2). This procedure requires system manager privileges and is shown in 
the following sections. 
 

1.  Verify that LAT is working. This can be done simply with a LAT-

compatible terminal server; by doing a SHOW NODE or SHOW 
SERVICE command, you should see the name of your ULTRIX host 
displayed. If you do not have a terminal server available, execute the 
following command:  

 
 

lcp -c

 

 
This command displays the LAT traffic on the network. You should minimally 
see some number of frames transmitted because your ULTRIX computer 
periodically broadcasts messages across the network. If LAT is not working, first 
check your cabling and your network configuration. If LAT still does not work, 
then you may need to install LAT into your system. This is a fairly complex 
procedure that requires rebuilding your kernel; refer to your ULTRIX 
documentation for information on this procedure. 
 

2.  If you have not already done so, create some LAT devices. This is done 

by first changing your default directory to /dev and then use the 
MAKEDEV command to create 16 LAT devices: 

 

cd /dev
