SYS-PRNT (System Printer)
The Report Scheduler feature provides the capability to schedule selected
administration commands to be printed by an asynchronous System Printer
(SYS-PRNT) or sent to a Personal Computer (PC). The System Printer Link to
this external device can be administered either as a data extension or to the EIA
port on the switch Processor (PROCR) circuit pack which provides a standard EIA
232C interface.
System Printer Link Maintenance provides a strategy for maintaining the link
between the system and an external SYS-PRNT output device. The strategy
includes a set of tests for detection of errors during normal operation,
troubleshooting actions, and alarms for serious problems. System Printer Link
Maintenance uses a try-and-wait mechanism for maintaining the SYS-PRNT link.
If the link set-up fails, a minor alarm is raised for service attention. A warning
alarm is raised when the SPE has been busied out. A maximum of two link retry
attempts is made. After the second attempt, set-up attempts are only made by the
application software (that is, the 15-minute timer fires and jobs are printed unless
an immediate job was entered.) After two unsuccessful attempts to establish the
link, a MINOR alarm is raised for service attention. If the System Printer Link is
torn down due to an error, System Printer Link Maintenance raises a MINOR
alarm but does not attempt to bring up the System Printer Link.
In DEFINITY Generic 1, the following physical configurations are supported for
the System Printer Link:
a. from the EIA port on the Processor circuit pack to a SYS-PRNT output
device via the standard EIA 232C interface
b. from a data channel (DATA-CHL) on the Network Control circuit pack
(DATA-BD) to a data extension where the SYS-PRNT output device
connects via the standard EIA 232C interface
The data extension can be a(n) PDM, MPDM, DTDM, or ADU. The PDM, MPDM,
or DTDM connects to a Digital Line (DIG-LINE) on the TN754 or TN754B Digital
Line circuit pack (DIG-BD); the ADU connects to a Data Line (DAT-LINE) of the
TN726 Data Line circuit pack (DT-LN-BD).
