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.
