TCP/IP Host Setup Reverse Telnet (RTEL) The backend filter simply accepts data from the queue manager (LPD for BSD, lpsched for SYSV, and qdaemon on AIX) and moves that data over the network to the terminal/print server. The backend filter can perform simple reformatting of the job, such as tab expansion, to expansion, and banner pages. It cannot, however, perform complicated tasks such as PostScript conversion. See the RTELbackend man page for more information. The named pipe interface allows host-supplied or third party software to send output to a device (the pipe) after which the RTELPD daemon process sends the data to the server. See the RTELPD man page for more information. 7.3.2 Installing Reverse Telnet Software RTEL software is provided on the distribution CD-ROM in tar format and can be restored into a local directory. To set up the RTEL Software, 1 Install the RTEL software. 2 Set your current directory to the RTEL directory. Figure 7-12: Restoring RTEL software # mkdir /tmp/rtel # cd /tmp/rtel # tar xvf /cdrom/products/servers/rtelv4_2_2/rtel_src.tar Note: The word "cdrom" in the example above should be replaced with the name of the current distribution CD-ROM. For MS-DOS, the source code will be in a single tar archive file (rtel_src.tar). This file contains all of the source code, but does not contain any executables. 3 Copy the tar archive file onto the host system, remembering to use binary mode during the copy. 4 Untar the archive. 5 Recompile the software on the target machine. This will be done automatically for supported systems. 6 Once all the files are in place, issue the command ./lpinstall. This script moves everything necessary to run the RTEL software into the /usr/spool/rtel directory tree. 7-11
