TCP/IP AX3000 User's Manual 79
A VNC terminal without Login is defined by:
- its display number: this is the VNC session TCP port (1=5901, 2=5902...),
- its resolution:800x600, 1024x768 or 1280x1024,
- its number of supported colour bits: 8 bits/pixel (256 colours) or 16
bits/pixel (65535 colours, only on models 75/75E).
- the dedicated application (absolute pathname and parameters).
Notes:
- The Xvnc server and application are run by the RunScriptVNC script
which is automatically created by axvnc. The RunScriptVNC scripts are
launched through /etc/inittab.
- If an entry in the display table is 'busy', it means the VNC terminal WITH
login is assigned to this port.
5.3 - CONTROLLING PRINTERS
Three auxiliary ports are provided by the AX3000 (2 serial and 1 parallel).
These ports are independently controlled so up to three printers can be
attached to the AX3000.
A printer is generally controlled by a network service:
- tty protocol: this is an Axel proprietary protocol. A printer controlled by
the tty protocol is seen as a local printer.
- LPD protocol: this service (RFCs 1048 and related) is provided as a
standard feature by major operating systems (Unix/Linux, NT, etc.). The
main benefit of this protocol is an LPD printer can be shared by different
operating systems.
- rsh command: this command allows the contents of a file to be
redirected over the network.
In addition, a printer can also be controlled in "transparent mode" (by embedded
escape sequences, like a printer attached to a serial terminal).
The following covers the tty protocol, the rsh command and the transparent
mode. For more information about LPD printers, refer to Appendix A.3.
