RTEL Functionality
If the LPR method of printing is not adequate for an application (for
example, if you need banners before jobs, or more flexibility),
configure the Lantronix-supplied RTEL software on the host. After
installing the software configuring the connections to the MPS, you
can use normal UNIX print commands and queue utilities such as
lpc
and
lpstat
.
Note:
RTEL binaries are provided for many systems. Source code
is also provided for use on non-supported systems.
To print to the MPS using special formatting or using third-party
software packages, you may have to create print pipes on the host.
The RTEL software provides this functionality by providing a UNIX
named-pipe interface.
To recreate the RTEL source files:
1.
Copy the file
RTEL_SRC.TAR
in binary mode from the
distribution CD-ROM to the UNIX host.
2.
Untar the archive.
3.
See the README files in the created directories that describe
the contents of the RTEL distribution and man pages that
describe the actual software functionality.

Table 2: TCP Troubleshooting
Area to Check
Explanation
The MPS IP address and
name are entered in the
host file
Telnet to the MPS using the name in the
host file and verify that the MPS name is
resolvable and that the MPS is reachable
via the network.
Jobs that appear in the
host queue reach the
MPS
From within the LPC administrative utility,
enter these commands to clear and reset
the host queue:
abort queue
clear queue
enable queue
start queue
