Interoperability Gateways
The option -ga gtw_port specifies which TCP/IP port number is to be used. The
default is 9999.
The port number is very important as no two gateways with the same port
number can run on a system at any one time.
The option -np TCP defines that the TCP/IP protocol is used. No other protocol
can be specified. For the connection to other Xprint V7.0 domains the print
protocol must be selected with the option -pp GIP2. With the -aa option you can
define that the gateway is activated automatically each time Xprint V7.0 is
started.
Defining the partner gateway
A separate partner gateway must now be specified for each connection to
another Xprint V7.0 domain. This partner gateway defines a logical connection
to another host on another Xprint V7.0 domain. On this host, a gateway for the
connection to the local gateway must also be configured (mirrored configu-
ration). The partner gateway is configured using the following command:
xpadd -gtw spool_partner -tp PARTNER -ho spool_host -ga gtw_port \
-bl
local_gw -np TCP
This command configures a partner gateway named spool_partner which admin-
isters the logical connection to a special Xprint V7.0 domain. For spool_partner
any name can be used; it does make sense, however, to use a name which
indicates to which Xprint V7.0 domain the gateway is configured. With the option
-ho spool_host you specify the name of the remote host on which the gateway
to the other Xprint V7.0 domain is configured.
The option -ga gtw_port specifies which TCP/IP port number is to be used. This
number must correspond to that of the local gateway of the other Xprint V7.0
domain.
The partner gateway must be assigned with the -bl local_gw option to the local
gateway administering the physical connection. local_gw can represent a single
gateway or a list of local gateways. The option -np TCP defines that the TCP/IP
protocol is used. No other protocol can be specified.
