Page 16: Terms And Concepts
Terms and Concepts The following terms and concepts help you understand this manual. A configuration is a prepared or set up condition of a device for proper operation. Configuring the Ethernet card is to set it up to work with protocols available on a network. A node address is a set of numbers that gives a unique identity to any piece of equipment connected to a network.
Page 17 A protocol is a rule that controls how data or information is exchanged through a network. There are many different layers of protocols for different aspects of hardware and software operation. Computers and software cannot communicate with each other using different protocols. TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is a layer of protocols that provides communications between nodes on a network.

Page 84: Printcap File
After setting up the card as a valid network device, you need to make a few remote printer settings. The lpr protocol program is given the name of a remote printer, and a host name on which it resides. It is looking for three names to link together: The name of the local printer which will now be redirected to the Ethernet card.
Page 85: Operation
Operation After setting up the card, you can use the lpr command from any host to direct a print file to the Ethernet card. The card does not have to interpret any of the incoming print data, allowing binary image files, font download files, as well as ASCII text to be printed transparently.
Page 86 Technical For programmers’ information, the Ethernet card TCP/IP mode responds only to arp packets and to TCP/IP connections made to socket number 0x0203 and the ftp socket. You must use lpr protocol to send data to socket 0x0203. Also, connection attempts to other sockets will meet with no response.
Page 87 lpr filters Filters for lpr are controlled by the name given to the remote printer. When setting up an lpr printer entry, a name is entered for: the local printer name to be redirected the host name of the station to which the print is sent the remote printer name (name of the printer port on the remote station).
Page 88 The remote printer name options used to invoke the different filters are as follows: Binary files (no filters) ASCII files (carriage returns at line ends) lpbf Binary file with form feed at file end lpaf ASCII file with form feed at file end All other remote printer name options will be treated the same as lpb.
