We're trying to set up a queue that our GCG users can use to output their
graphics to an HP7550+. There seems to be a flow control or communications
problem. When we run PLOTTEST the three characters of "Page" are plotted and
then it just stops. The queue is idle, having sent everything off to the
plotter. At this point we're not sure whether it is a problem with the serial
connector or if we're not configuring something properly. We'd appreciate any
advice from anyone who has already figured this out.
Our configuration follows:
MicroVAX 3100/80
DECServer 90/TL (connected to a DEChub)
VMS 5.5-2
DECconnect office cable (twisted pair)
DEC H8571-A serial connector
The LAT port setup is
/APPLICATION/QUEUE/NODE DSV306/PORT=PORT_4
The Queue setup is:
/AUTOSTART/BASE_PRIORITY=3/CHAR=(127)/DEFAULT=(FORM=NORMAL)/OWNER=[SYSTEM]
/PROCESSOR=LATSYM/PROTECTION=(S:E,O:D,G:R,W:W)
The Terminal Server Port setup is:
character size=8
Flow control=XON
Stop Bits+Dynamic
Access=Remote
Input/Output Speed=9600
Signal Control Disabled
Autobaud,autoconnect,autoprompt are all disabled
The Plotter setup is:
baud=9600
hardwire=off
XON/XOFF=ON
PARITY=8 BITS OFF
Thanks in advance for any advice
Paul
