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

).

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.

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.
