CHAPTER 9 LAT NETWORK CONFIGURATION

9-8

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 = 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.
