Phase V (DECnet-OSI):
Before beginning the installation on DECnet Phase V, create an NCL
(Network Control Language) node entry for the printer. You need to
add the printer to the local or DNS Register via
SYS$COMMON:[SYSMGR]DECNET DNS REGISTER.COM
or
SYS$COMMON:[SYSMGR]DECNET_LOC_REGISTER.COM
»
Note: The command you use depends on the topology of your
network. NCL, rather than NCP, verifies that you set up the network
and node information necessary for proper printing. Due to limitations
of the NCL command-line interface, the installation routine will not
create a node and address for the printer you're installing. You must
use the decnet_loc_register.com for LAN (local name space
configurations) or decnet_dns_register.com for WAN (distributed
name space configurations) utility. The installation and release notes
warn you to create a node prior to completing installation.
n
Node name. The printer's node name must be a unique identifier
on your network. A valid name may have up to six alphabetic or
numeric characters for LAN or up to 1024 alphabetic or numeric
characters for WAN. In either case, a valid name requires at least
one alphabetic character.
n
Network address. You assign a unique address to the printer. The
address consists of an area number (01 to 63) and a node num-
ber (0000 to 1023). The valid format for the network address is
xx.xxxx .
In each case, the software installation prompts you for this unique
network identifier. This will enable your printer to become a good net-
work citizen.

Note: The host software is supported for VMS system versions 5.0
through 6.0.
