Configuring a FASTCNFG File

All the FASTP network print processes require a configuration file named FASTCNFG,

and each FASTP network printer must be represented by a DEVICE entry in the

FASTCNFG file. DEVICE entries describe protocol attributes and transport attributes

for each printer. Note the following about the FASTCNFG file.

•

All FASTP network print processes can share the same FASTCNFG file.

•

Most FASTP network print processes must be instructed to read the FASTCNFG

file when it is started by setting bit 5 (%2000) of the PARM attribute through the

Spoolcom DEV command. (See Defining the Spooler DEV PARM Attribute on

page 2-11 for details.) For FASTPTCP only, beginning with the G06.10 and D48.02

RVUs, setting bit 5 is no longer required; the FASTCNFG/FASTKCON files are

always read.

Example 2-2 contains an example of a FASTCNFG file that shows the configuration of

an AWAN device for a FASTPTCP process. The remainder of this subsection

describes how to create a FASTCNFG file.

Example 2-1. Sample Spoolcom Command File

comment Execute the following commands for subsystem $SUP1

comment Specify the name of the supervisor process

OPEN $SUP1

comment Specify the print process name as $PRNT1

comment Specify the object code file as $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.FASTPSMB

PRINT $PRNT1, FILE $

SYSTEM.SYSTEM.FASTPSMB

comment Specify a spooler device name as $DEV1

comment Associate the device with the print process

comment Set PARM attribute to %2000 so FASTCNFG is read

DEV $DEV1, PROCESS $PRNT1, PARM %2000

comment Specify a spooler job location as #LAN1

comment Associate the spooler job location with the device

LOC #LAN1.DEFAULT,D

EV $DEV1

Note. Beginning with the G06 and D48 product versions of FASTPTCP, you also can

convert one or more FASTPTCP FASTCNFG files into a FASTKCON key-sequenced file.

This feature is described in detail in Creating a FASTKCON Configuration File (Beginning

with the G06 and D48 RVUs) on page 3-40.
