LAT NETWORK CONFIGURATION 9 - 9
YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5
This will create 16 devices numbered sequentially. For example, it
will create tty00 through tty15 if you have not previously created
any terminal devices. To create an additional 16 devices, type:
MAKEDEV lta1
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, where xxxxxx is 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.
