Automatic Connection 

You can use the Auto Connect option on the Configure Options dialog box
to have HP LaserRX/MPE automatically connect you to one host HP 3000 upon
startup.  This connection can be either serial or LAN, but not both.


NOTE  These constraints apply to automatic connection only.  Otherwise,
      your PC can be connected through HP LaserRX/MPE to up to five
      systems at a time (five LAN connections or one serial and four LAN
      connections).  Note that only one serial connection can be made at
      a time.


Use the Auto Connect and Auto Connect Selection options on the Options
dialog box (Configure menu) in conjunction with the Configure Serial
Connect and Configure LAN Connect dialog boxes, as explained in the
following procedure.


          Figure 4-5.  Automatic LAN Connection 

Make the following selections on the Options dialog box:

   1.  Enable Auto Connect. 

       Click on the selection box to enable Auto Connect.  A check mark
       appears in the box indicating the option is enabled.  (Click on a
       selection box again to disable an option.  The check mark
       disappears.)

   2.  Choose either LAN or Serial on the Auto Connect Selection option. 

   3.  Click  Save to use these settings for this HP LaserRX/MPE session
       and save them as defaults for future sessions.

If the Auto Connect option is enabled when you start HP LaserRX/MPE, the
program attempts to connect the PC to a designated HP 3000 by initiating
either the default LAN or default serial configuration.  Which one it
initiates depends on what is checked in the Auto Connect Selection
option.  See "Auto Connect Option"  for more details.

You set the default LAN connection through the Configure LAN Connect
command.  You set the default serial connection through the Configure
Serial Connect command.  See "To Set Serial Connect Defaults"  and "To
Set LAN Connect Defaults"  in this chapter.
