4-24 TCP/IP Network Configuration
Raw TCP Ports
TROY XCD print servers provide a raw TCP port capability
that can be used by any application that can open and send
data to a TCP port. The port number is 9100 (238C hex) for
the parallel port, or 9101 for the XConnect II and XConnect
100 first serial port, and 9102 for XConnect 100 second
parallel port. The ports pass data through unmodified, so
there is no TELNET interpretation provided. When using the
raw TCP ports, make sure that TELNET interpretation is
disabled in your software or else you may get distorted
printouts.
The raw TCP port is compatible with many popular software
packages, including HP's JetDirect software for UNIX, TGV
Multinet (streams mode), IBM AIX for the RS/6000 (V3.25
or later), and any TCP/IP-based software that supports HP's
JetDirect Ethernet network interface card.
The HP JetDirect software for UNIX is available for Sun
Solaris, SunOS, and HP/UX. HP printer users can download
these utilities from HP's web site (http://www.hp.com or
FTP site (ftp.hp.com).
To use an TROY XCD print server with the HP host printing
utilities on an HP/UX or Sun system:
1. Download the software from the HP web site or FTP
site.
2. If the download file is in tar format, use the tar xvf
filename command to extract the software, where
filename is the name of the software that you
downloaded (you must be logged in as root). If the file
is in pkgadd format, use the pkgadd -d filename all
