Configuring the FASTPTCP LAN Print Spooler
Product
Example 8-6 shows an example of FASTCNFG file that contains entries for two AWAN
access server-connected serial printers.
Editing the Spooler Configuration File (SPLCONF)
You must edit the Spooler configuration file, named SPLCONF, to include information
about your AWAN access server-attached serial printer. The SPLCONF file contains
Spoolcom commands and is usually executed from a Spooler cold-start file. It is located
in the $SYSTEM.SPLUTIL subvolume.
Example 8-7
shows an excerpt from a SPLCONF file that includes information for two
AWAN access-server connected serial printers. The PARM 1024 specification causes the
FASTPTCP print process to open and read the FASTCNFG file. The EXCLUSIVE
OFF! specification directs FASTPTCP to close and open the Tandem NonStop TCP/IP
process for each print job.
Example 8-6. Sample FASTCNFG File
DEVICE $AWAN !SERIAL PRINTER THROUGH THE AWAN (PORT 2)
CONTYPE = TCP/IP-TELNET
PROTOCOL = NONE
ADDRESS = 172.17.201.65
PORT = 2002
TIMEOUT = 12345678
NOTIMINGMARK = NO
TCP/IP-A = $ZTC0
TCP/IP-B = $ZTC1
DEVICE $AWAN1 !SERIAL PRINTER THROUGH THE AWAN (PORT 3)
CONTYPE = TCP/IP-TELNET
PROTOCOL = NONE
ADDRESS = 172.17.201.65
PORT = 2003
TIMEOUT = 12345678
NOTIMINGMARK = NO
TCP/IP-A = $ZTC0
TCP/IP-B = $ZTC1
