7.4.4 Activating a gateway
Three points are important for activating a gateway:
– Activation of the local gateway itself. Only an active gateway can be used by
local and remote users.
– Setting up a backward link from a partner gateway to the local gateway.
A connection between two gateways requires such a backward link.
– Allowing a partner gateway access. Only if a partner gateway is granted
access explicitly can users of the partner system access the local resources.
Only the Xprint V7.0 administrator, subroot or root can activate a
gateway. You must first log in accordingly.
Activating the local gateway
● To completely activate a gateway, use the following command:
xpchange -gtw gateway
where gateway is the gateway to be activated. This also activates all the
connections between remote partner gateways and the local gateway.
Activating job export mode for a local gateway
You can activate a local gateway such that it can process the requests of the
allowed partner gateways, proceed as follows.
● Activate the connection using the following command:
xpchange -gtw gateway -go ON
Activating job import mode for a local gateway
If you want to grant a partner gateway access to the resources of the local Xprint
V7.0 domain, you must enter the partner gateway as an allowed gateway on the
local gateway.
● Reactivate the local gateway using the following command:
xpchange -gtw gateway -gi ON
