Configuring a Printer

An NonStop PLU application or utility can use PLU acquire to gain control of a printer

in an SNA subarea network.

Figure 7-2 on page 7-5 shows an example using the spooler PSPOOLB option on the

NonStop system to print from files on a NonStop system to an IBM 3287 printer in an

adjacent SNA subarea network. The SNAX/APN configuration is shown alongside.This

example applies to SNAX/APN LEN Node and End Node.

Notes.

1. The SUBSYS object must be configured with a SNANETID value that identifies the SNA

network of the NonStop node.

2. The LINE object can have STATION values PRIMARY, SECONDARY, or NEGOTIABLE.

3. A remote PU object represents the PU of the adjacent node.

4. Remote LU objects represent LUs in the adjacent node or LUs accessible through that

node.

5. The remote LU objects must have the following attributes:

TYPE, PUNAME, DEVTYPE, PROTOCOL, SNANAME, LOCALSNANAME

The SNANAME must correspond to the LU name of the remote LU.

6. A local PU object named #ZNT21 (representing the NonStop node) is not configured

through SCF but is created automatically (provided the LINE object has MAXLOCALLUS

non-zero).

7. When the LU on the NonStop system is a PLU (as in this example), no local LU objects

are needed.

8. The example assumes you use the SNAX default BIND image. If you require custom

BINDs, see Appendix B, SNAX/XF and SNAX/APN BINDs
