LAT Network Configuration

Printing from DEC LAT Systems

Overview

Brother print servers are equipped with the LAT protocol. If you are 
already familiar with configuring DEC servers or compatible terminal 
servers in your network, you can use similar procedures to configure 
a Brother print server.

Quick Tips:

1

The default password for Brother print servers is 

access

.

2

If you assign an IP address to the print server, you can use a 
Web browser or the BRAdmin application to configure the LAT 
configuration parameters. 

LAT Concepts

A Brother printer server will be a node on the network that offers a 
printing service to other nodes on the network. A node is simply a 
device, such as a host computer, terminal server, or print server. 
Every node on the network has a unique name, Brother print servers 
are pre-configured with the name 

BRN_

 followed by the last six digits 

of the Ethernet address (for example, 

BRN_310107

). 

To use a Brother print server with a VMS host computer, you will first 
need to create a LAT application port on the host. A LAT application 
port allows a program to send and receive data over a LAT 
connection as if it were communicating with a directly-connected 
physical port. You will then need to associate a print queue with this 
port.
