CHAPTER 9 LAT NETWORK CONFIGURATION
9-11
3.
Edit the /etc/ttys file to add a line similar to the following for each LAT
connection:
tty05 "etc/getty std.9600" vt100 off nomodem #LAT
(substitute your actual tty number in place of "tty05").
4.
Verify that you have created valid LAT tty devices with the command:
file /dev/tty* | grep LAT
Valid LAT devices will have a "39" in the description that is printed when
this command is executed.
5.
Edit the /etc/printcap file to define the printer. The following is an example
of an entry:
lp1|BRN1:\
:lp=/dev/tty05:\
:ts=BRN_310107:\
:op=P1:\
:fc#0177777:fs#023:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lp1:
"lp1" in the example is the printer name; you may choose to replace it with a
name of your choice. Likewise, "BRN1" is a secondary name that you may
want to replace with your own designation. The "op" parameter is the port
name (P1). You must change the "ts" parameter to be the actual node name
of your print server (the default node name is BRN_xxxxxx or
BRO_xxxxxx, where xxxxxx = the last six digits of the MAC address
(Ethernet address)). You must also change the "tty05" entry in the "lp"
parameter to be the actual tty port you are using. The "fc" and "fs"
parameters should be entered exactly as shown above since they are required
for the output to be printed correctly.
