The EZWebCon configuration software is the easiest way to
configure the MPS. The following sections cover print configuration
methods for LAT hosts.
Note: The MPS needs an IP address before you can use
EZWebCon. See Setting the IP Address on page 4-1 for
instructions.
LAT print queues can be created by printing to a port or printing to
a service. Printing directly to a port requires no MPS configuration.
Note: Printing directly to a port is the easiest method for printing to
the MPS. If you would like instructions for printing to a service, see
the Print Server Reference Manual located on the CD-ROM.
Printing Directly to a Port
1. Create a LAT application port that references the MPS port.
Figure 15: Creating LAT Application Port
$ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:LATCP
LATCP> CREATE PORT LTAnnn/APPLICATION
LATCP> SET PORT
LTAnnn/NODE=MPS_xxxxxx/PORT=Port_n
LATCP> EXIT
2. Create and start a print queue that uses the LAT application
port.
Figure 16: Creating and Starting Print Queue
$ INITIALIZE/QUEUE/START/ON=LTAnnn:/
PROCESSOR=LATSYM
/RETAIN=ERROR queue_name
3. Add the commands to the SYS$MANAGER:LAT$STARTUP.COM
file so the required LAT devices will be recreated after each
host reboot.
Note: LAT terminal device characteristics may have to be changed
to correctly print certain files. See your VMS documentation for
more information.
