Description
Set your Terminal Server port flow control
to Hardware. Then set your printer to use
'DTR Pacing' or 'Hardware' or 'Ready/
Busy' flow control. Use the RS-232 printer
cable pinout shown in the Cabling Guide
(Appendix C), as this will save a print job if
the printer is turned off or the cable
becomes detached.
The LPD client, as a reference to the
printer, will use what you assign here. This
is the printer queue name on the Terminal
Server.
Set this field to Remote. This sets the port
of the terminal server to listen for
connections coming from the network.
There will be an INETD process running
on the terminal server that does the
listening.
You can check on the status of this
process by looking at the NETSTAT
screen of the terminal server's STATS
menu (or show net).
The port of the terminal server will operate
in a raw TCP/IP mode.
The INETD process running on the
terminal server for this port is listening for
TCP/IP connections on TCP port 515 (this
is the LPD service number).
