Each field may contain alphanumeric characters and hyphens (-) but must start with an alphabetic character. • IP address This field specifies the default destination system for the device connected to the port.
11 Configuring port parameters Destination Node Name (Host Ports) Enter an NS node name, a DTC host port name (using the NS nodename format), a Domain name or an IP address to specify the name of a default device to which the port will connect. This is the device to which the host port is connected by default as soon as the DTC senses modem activity. The default destination must be supplied for all ports enabled for automatic connection.
Saving a default port configuration Escape From Data Transfer Character Enter an ASCII character to use as an escape from data transfer. Non-displayable ASCII characters are specified in caret-character (^character) format. The literal caret (^) and backslash (\) are escaped with a backslash. This field must be filled. The escape from data transfer character is used at a terminal to switch from the host system to the DTC terminal user interface.
11 Saving a default port configuration Use the Save as User Default option from the Action Menu at the Rear Panel Configuration screen as follows: 1 Enter B in the board field and the port number in the port field of the Rear Panel Configuration screen. 2 Press the Action Menu (F5) function key and select Save as User Default.
12 Copying and Pasting Configurations This chapter describes procedures to: • Copy the entire configuration of a DTC to another DTC • Copy the configuration of all the DTC ports (but not that of the LAN card) to another DTC • Copy a single DTC port configuration to another DTC port.
12 Requirements for copying and pasting Requirements for copying and pasting The destination DTC port can be on the same DTC or on another DTC. Note that the DTC node name (or IP address) is not copied since these must be unique in your network. Caution If an IP address has been configured for ports, be careful when you copy and paste configurations. Remember that each IP address in your network must be unique.
Copying and pasting all port configurations Copying and pasting all port configurations rdtcmodify dtcname or rdtcadd dtcname dtc_IP_address DTC backplane Board = B, Port not chosen Copy Paste Change Port Group 1 At the system prompt, type: rdtcmodify first_dtcname The DTC Rear Panel Configuration screen appears. 2 In the Board field enter B or b. Do not enter any value in the port field. 3 Press the Action Menu (F5) function key and then select Copy.
12 Copying and pasting a single port configuration Copying and pasting a single port configuration The destination DTC port can be on the same DTC or on another DTC. rdtcmodify dtcname or rdtcadd dtcname dtc_IP_address DTC backplane Board = B or b, Port = # Configure port parameters Enable port options Copy Paste Change port type Save as user default 1 At the system prompt, type: rdtcmodify dtcname The DTC Rear Panel Configuration screen appears. 2 In the Board field enter B or b.
13 Configuring a Backup DTC Manager This chapter describes how to configure a backup DTC Manager.
13 How the backup works How the backup works Once configured, a backed up DTC Manager will operate as described below: 1 When the DTC is switched on, it sends out a request to the default DTC Manager's IP address. 2 If after ten tries the default DTC Manager does not respond, the DTC waits for 30 seconds and then sends a request to the backup DTC Manager. 3 If after ten tries the backup DTC Manager does not respond, the DTC waits for 30 seconds and then sends its request again to the default DTC Manager.
Creating a backup DTC Manager for configuration download Note If a DTC is downloaded by the backup host, any uploads which occur are sent to the backup host by default.

14 Configuring Connections to HP 3000 Systems This chapter provides an overview of how to configure a DTC for: • • local connection to an HP 3000 Series 900 system remote connection to an HP 3000 Series 900 system 99
14 System requirements System requirements You must have the following in order to make a connection to an HP 3000 system: • a DTC (running DTC code version 14.3) configured as a front-end, and attached to the same LAN as the HP 3000. • another DTC (running DTC code version 14.3) on the other side of a routable network. • the HP 3000 Series 900 system must be running either: • MPE/iX version 4.0 with power patch B.40.06 OR • MPE/iX version 5.
Configuring the HP 3000 with NMMGR Configuring the HP 3000 with NMMGR The following tasks must be performed on the HP 3000 Series 900 to support connections via a DTC. • Configure DTS information on the HP 3000 Series 900, such as the HP 3000 Series 900 node name, the link name, and the physical path of the LANIC. • Configure the maximum number of non-nailed terminals that can log on to the HP 3000 Series 900 at one time.
14 Configuring remote connections Configuring remote connections The illustration below shows a remote connection configuration. The front-end DTC is connected to the same LAN as the HP 3000 system. The remote DTC is connected to the HP 3000 system across a routed network. Communications between the remote DTC and the HP 3000 system are made via the network and the front-end DTC. This type of connection is known as a “routable AFCP” connection.
Configuring a remote connection to an HP 3000 system Figure 19. Remote connection configuration Configuring a remote connection to an HP 3000 system You configure a remote DTC for connection to an HP 3000 Series 900 system the same way you configure connection to a local MPE host system (“Configuring a local connection to an HP 3000 system” on page 100) except that you must also include the IP address of the Domain Name Server (DNS).
14 DNS configuration Each line of the file may be in one of the following different formats: • • • The A (Address) format associates an IP address with an Internet Services name The TXT (TeXT) format associates any text string with an Internet Services name The WKS (Well Known Service) format adds secondary information to the IP address. For Routable AFCP to work, all three formats must be used.
DNS configuration Note RDTCName is the NS nodename of the remote DTC. hostName is the ARPA nodename of the host. DTCArpaDomain is the Internet Services domain of the front-end DTC and the remote DTC. RDTC_IP@ is the IP address of the remote DTC. FEDTC_IP@ is the IP address of the front-end DTC. 17 is the protocol number of UDP. RAFCP_HOST is a keyword that should always be entered exactly a written here (in upper or lower case).
14 DNS configuration 106
15 Configuring a DTC Printer for HP 9000 Access This chapter describes how to configure a printer attached to a DTC 16RX for access by an HP 9000 system. The examples are given in the context of HP-UX 9.x.
15 Configuration overview Configuration overview The following is a summary of the configuration procedure: 1 Configure a DTC port to be a printer port • See chapter 10, "Changing Port Type to Terminal, Printer or Host" to change the port type to printer. • See chapter 11, "Configuring Terminal, Printer and Host Ports" to set the other port parameters. 2 Associate a device file with the printer using the DDFA device file utilities, see “Creating the Device File Name with the DDFA Utility” on page 109.
Creating the Device File Name with the DDFA Utility The location of the printer (port number on the DTC) and an assigned device file name must be specified in a DDFA utilities configuration file. This chapter describes how to use DDFA to configure a printer on a DTC for access by HP 9000 systems. Refer to the DTC Device File Access Utilities Manual and HP-UX System Administration Tasks Manual from your HP-UX System Administrator's documentation set for more information about DDFA.
15 Creating the Device File Name with the DDFA Utility the printer is connected. b Choose the device file name for this printer. You can choose any name, but you might want to include some port information, for example you could choose /dev/dtc1p2 to indicate that the device file name is associated with port 2 of dtc1.
Configuring a DTC printer for the HP-UX spooler ocd-start () { ddp ddfa/dp -k } .... case $ State in standalone ) ... net-start ocd_start ... ;; Configuring a DTC printer for the HP-UX spooler The printer on the DTC must be specified with the HP-UX spooler using the System Administration Management (SAM) tool or the HP-UX lpadmin command. Refer to the HP-UX System Administration Tasks Manual for information on the HP-UX printer spooler.
15 Configuring a printer using the lpadmin command Enter the printer device file that you entered in the file ddfa/dp file for the DTC printer port. For the device file name in the example on page 110 you would enter /dev/dtc1p2. 3 Complete the other fields as required and exit from SAM.
16 Troubleshooting This chapter describes how to troubleshoot basic DTC Manager configuration problems. For additional information, see “Diagnosing DTC Problems” on page 121. For DTC hardware problems, refer to your DTC hardware manual.
16 Troubleshooting checklist Troubleshooting checklist Consider the following questions to clarify the source of the problem: For the DTC • Did the problem occur during or just after a DTC was installed? • Did the problem occur just after a hardware change? If you suspect a DTC hardware problem, consult the DTC hardware manual. • Is the problem isolated to one specific DTC, or on a specific port on a DTC? The rdtcstat command can help you isolate the problem to a specific port on a DTC.
Troubleshooting flowchart Troubleshooting flowchart Switch on the DTC • NO Does the DTC pass the self- test? • YES Is the DTC downloaded? • • • NO • • YES • NO Do you get a prompt on DTC terminal? • • YES • • Consult the error codes chart and the hardware installation guide. Check the LAN cable connections to the DTC. Perform off-line diagnostics. Ensure the tftp is operational. Ensure the DTC IP address and DTC name (case sensitive) are identical on the DTC and on the DTC Manager.
16 Checking that the DTC self-test is successful Checking that the DTC self-test is successful When a DTC is switched on it runs a hardware self-test. Some errors which occur during the self-test are recoverable, while others are not. The following steps describe how to ensure that the DTC has correctly passed its self-test and what action to take if the self-test indicates any problems. 1 Remove the power cord of the DTC and plug it in again.
Checking the DTC download process Checking the DTC download process If the power-on self-test is successful, the DTC sends out a request to the default DTC Manager's IP address. If after ten tries the default DTC Manager does not respond, the DTC waits 30 seconds and then sends a request to the backup DTC Manager. If after ten tries the backup DTC Manager does not respond, the DTC waits 30 seconds and then sends a request to the default DTC Manager again.
16 Checking that tftp is installed and operational Checking that tftp is installed and operational The tftp daemon is responsible, among other things, for downloading DTCs. If tftp is not running, the HP 9000 host cannot respond to a DTC download request. 1 Check that tftp is properly installed and operational as described in chapter 3. 2 Consult the tftp man page for information on how to use tracing on tftp and look at the trace files to find the problem.
Checking log files You can also verify a DTCs software version by looking at the version number displayed at the top of the DTC terminal, in the Network Management screen, when the DTC’s terminal is attached to its diagnostics port. Checking log files In general, reading the appropriate log file can provide you with a better idea of where the problem is located. For installation information look in: • HP-UX 9.x systems: /tmp/update.log • HP-UX 10.0 systems: /var/adm/sw/swagent.
16 Checking log files 120
17 Diagnosing DTC Problems This chapter presents information on diagnostic commands and procedures.
17 Your DTC 16RX hardware manual explains the meaning of the terms upload, download, and self-test.
Resetting a DTC or a DTC port Resetting a DTC or a DTC port The rdtcreset command resets a DTC or a port. The board in the DTC cannot be reset. You can only reset the entire DTC or a single port. The rdtcreset command is disruptive and breaks all connections on the port or ports being reset. It will download the latest configuration changes to the DTC.
17 Testing connections using the rdtcping command Finding the status of DTC LAN board or a port The rdtcstat command obtains status information about a DTC or a DTC port and lists it to the standard output.
Commands an HP engineer might ask you to use The rdtcping command helps you: • Do a preliminary connectivity check when setting up the DTC connections • Do a quick check of the connectivity if the response from a DTC seems unusually slow. You must run rdtcping as superuser. The rdtcping command can be scheduled using the HP-UX at command or the HP-UX cron command. Only one rdtcping or other diagnostic command can be run at a time.
17 Commands an HP engineer might ask you to use To turn off the extended trace on port 4 of the DTC named dtc3: rdtctraceoff dtc3 4 Uploading files from a DTC The command rdtcupload uploads a DTC configuration or a DTC port configuration. rdtcupload dtcname [dtcport] The following upload data files are created: • /rdtcmgr/upload/dtcname.box contains the upload of a DTC called dtcname. or • Caution /rdtcmgr/upload/dtcname.
18 Reprogramming a DTC This chapter explains how to reprogram the Flash EEPROM in the DTC unit.
18 The reprogramming procedure The reprogramming procedure For systems running HP_UX 9.x, the download code is in the file: /usr/tftpdir/rdtcmgr/code//romrx.cod For systems running HP_UX 10.0, the download code is in the file: /opt/rdtcmgr/code/romrx.cod Caution Reprogramming the DTC takes approximately ten minutes. During this time the status light on the DTC’s rear panel will display a flashing number 6. Do not switch the power off during this period.
19 Listing DTC Configurations This chapter describes how to list DTC configurations using the command rdtclist.
19 Using the rdtclist command Using the rdtclist command This command enables you to display one of the following: • The list of DTCs managed by the DTC Manager • A summary of configuration data for a DTC—this includes information about the LAN board and the ports.
20 Logging DTC Events This chapter describes how to format and display DTC events.
20 About event logging About event logging The event log is a binary file in the memory of the DTC to which DTC networking events are logged. Up to 256 events are stored in a circular file in the DTC. To read this information it must first be transferred to the DTC Manager and formatted.
Working with event log files To copy the DTC events of the DTC called mydtc into a file called eventfile: rdtcevents mydtc >eventfile Listing an event log file Use the command rdtclist -e to format an existing event log file stored on the DTC Manager. This command does not retrieve new event information from the DTC and does not overwrite event files stored in the DTC Manager.
20 Working with event log files 134
21 File Management This chapter describes file management procedures for DTC Manager files, and includes special guidance on deleting files.
21 Managing DTC Manager files Managing DTC Manager files The location of DTC Manager files is described in appendix C. Caution Never delete files in any of the rdtcmgr directories, even if they are empty. All of these files and directories are necessary for the proper operation of DTC Manager. Deleting DTC upload files DTC upload files are placed in //rdtcmgr/upload/ when they are initially created. To access the upload files follow the steps below.
22 Modifying Configurations with rdtcmodifyconfs This chapter describes how to modify multiple DTC configurations in one procedure with rdtcmodifyconfs. This command can be used as an alternative to the rdtcmodify utility which only allows you to modify one DTC at a time.
22 About the command About the command With rdtcmodifyconfs you can: Note • Modify DTC configurations that were created with rdtcadd • Copy data from one configuration and paste it into another (except LAN board configurations) • Modify parameters with a script. The rdtcmodifyconfs command can only be used to modify DTCs that already exist—it cannot be used to create a DTC. To create a DTC configuration, use the rdtcadd command.
Using rdtcmodifyconfs Note You can only run one of the following DTC Manager commands at a time: rdtcmodifyconfs or dtcping. For this reason only one user can configure and modify a DTC at a time. Refer to the rdtcmodifyconfs.sh file for a complete description of command options.
22 Using rdtcmodifyconfs Example This example shows how to copy port 3 of dtc1 and the paste the configuration to the same port on dtc2. rdtcmodifyconfs rdtcmodifyconfs -c -p dtc1 b 3 dtc2 b 3 Modify parameters option -m Used to specify which parameters to modify for given dtcobjects. The parameters can be given on the command line or in a user-defined scriptfile. In both cases, each parameter is specified with single quotes and the scriptfile must be given with a full path name.
Using the script options port The number of the port to modify. It is one of the following: 0 ... 15 An integer from 0 to 15. Logging options logging The rdtcmodifyconfs command supports the following logging options: Appends the log messages from this rdtcmodifyconfs execution to the existing rdtcmodifyconfs log file. -a By default, executing rdtcmodifyconfs means that the existing log file is overwritten. The default log file is: rdtcmodifyconfs.log.
22 Using the script options Command-line scripts -e “script” Executes a command-line script. Modifications to the DTC configuration are contained in the command-line script. The script can be specified in single or double quotes. Example This example shows how a command-line script is used to modify the DTC User Prompt on the DTC named dtc1. rdtcmodifyconfs -m -e 'User Prompt=”Hello>>";' dtc1 l User-defined script files The scriptfile option is used to modify one or more DTCs at a time.
Parameter definitions Parameter definitions LAN parameters The LAN parameter_name can be any of the following.
22 Parameter definitions Example SNMP parameters This example shows how two SNMP authorization filters are configured: rdtcmodifyconfs -m -e 'SNMP Authorization Filters = "015.123.123.111|Washington community|Read Write|DTC MIB|015.123.123.122|Houston Community|Read Only|MIB-II";'dtc1 l This example shows how four Trap Destination IP Addresses are configured: rdtcmodifyconfs -m -e 'Trap Destination IP Address = "015.123.123.111 |015.123.123.122|015.123.123.134 |015.123.123.
Parameter definitions To enable or disable the following port options, the parameter_value is set as follows: x or X to enable the port option Double quotes (“ ”) to disable the port option Parameter name Explained on: Enable Auto Speed/Parity Sensing (terminal ports only) page 78 Enable Automatic Connection (modem ports only) page 79 Enable Dedicated Printer (printer ports only) page 79 Enable DTC User Interface Timeout (terminal ports only) page 78 Enable Hardware Handshake page 79 Enable Po
22 Command return values User Interface Timeout = "9"; User Prompt = "New_DTC>"; Welcome Message = "Welcome! Type ? to get help on using the DTC Terminal User Commands”; This command will make all the changes listed in the script file. rdtcmodifyconfs -m -fdtcscript mydtc1 l The parameters in the example are explained as follows: -m uses the modify option. -f uses a file containing a script. The file name is dtcscript. mydtc1 is the name of the DTC to modify.
A DTC Manager Commands This appendix provides a listing of the DTC Manager commands. Note In HP-UX 9.X, all DTC Manager commands are located in the /etc directory. In HP-UX 10.0, the DTC Manager commands are located in the directory /opt/rdtcmgr/sbin.
A Adding a DTC to the list of DTCs configured DTCs Adding a DTC to the list of DTCs configured DTCs Add a DTC rdtcadd dtcname DTC_IP_address [-v DTC_version_number] Add a DTC using the configuration of an existing DTC rdtcadd dtcname DTC_IP_address existing_DTCname Configuring DTCs Note An asterisk indicates that the IP address of the DTC can be used instead of its name.

B DTC Terminal Parameters and Commands This appendix explains the: • • configuration parameters that affect the DTC terminal user interface. commands that you can use from a terminal connected to a DTC.
B DTC terminal parameters DTC terminal parameters The following parameters are related to the DTC terminal user interface. Switching Only terminals which have switching enabled are connected to the DTC terminal user interface. If switching (see page 78) is disabled, from a terminal you are connected directly to the system and do not see the DTC prompt. Welcome message This message is displayed when you try to logon from a terminal or when you use the Status command.
DTC user interface commands Each command can be abbreviated. The commands are not case-sensitive. For example, enter either C, c, connect, or CONNECT to connect to a system. If you have several connections open simultaneously, when you execute one of these commands, connection information is displayed on the screen and you are prompted to specify the connection to which you want the command to apply. Connect Connect opens a connection to a system.
B DTC user interface commands Each connection is identified as a number (xx) in the status command display. Only the connection number can be used. The connection name can not be used. If the connection number is not specified, the current system connection is recalled. Set ASCII Set ASCII sets the data transfer mode to ASCII. [SET ]A[SCII] [ xx ] Each connection is identified as a number (xx) in the status command display. Only the connection number can be used. The connection name can not be used.
DTC user interface commands It is a good idea to use the status command first to find out what connections are open before disconnecting a connection. Example of the help command DTC1> help Command [Opt. Parameters] CONNECT [destination [connection name]] DISCONNECT [xx] | Abbr. | C | | D HELP | H or ? | Lists available commands. LOGOUT | L | Logs out from the DTC. RECALL [xx] SET ASCII [xx] | | R A | Resumes connection xx. | Enables ASCII mode.* SET BINARY | B | Enables BINARY mode.

Glossary A address A numerical identifier defined and used by a particular protocol and associated software to distinguish one node from another. address resolution In networks, the mapping of node names to IP addresses and the mapping of IP addresses to low-level hardware addresses. address resolution protocol (ARP) A protocol used to convert an IP address to a low-level hardware address. ARP can be used only over a single physical network and is limited to networks that support hardware broadcast.
Glossary binary mode A data-transfer scheme in which no special character processing is performed. All characters are considered to be data and are passed through with no control actions being taken. block mode A terminal processing mode in which groups, or blocks of data are transmitted all at once. bridge A device used to connect LAN segments. Bridges are protocol-transparent and do not alter the data they receive but simply transmit it to the other network.
Glossary device file A file being input to or output from any peripheral device except a disk. HP-UX allows operations to be performed on the device itself as if it were a file. device independence A characteristic of the operating system that allows users to selectively redirect input/ output from a program, session, or job irrespective of the nature of the device. device name See device file.
Glossary escape sequence A sequence of characters beginning with the escape character and followed by one or more other characters, used to convey control directives to printers, plotters, or terminals. Escape sequences are used when, for example, you need to include special characters in a screen message, such as a welcome message. Ethernet A Local Area Network system that uses baseband transmission at 10 Mbps over coaxial cable and unshielded twisted pair. Ethernet is a trademark of Xerox Corporation.
Glossary I ICMP Internet control message protocol. An integral part of the Internet protocol that handles error and control messages. Gateways and hosts use ICMP to send reports of problems about datagrams back to the orignial source that sent the datagram. ICMP also includes an echo request/reply used to test whether a destination can be reached and will respond. IEEE 802.3 A standard for a broadcast local area network published by the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
Glossary line speed The speed at which data is transferred over a specific physical link (usually measured in bits or kilobits per second). link name A name that represents a hardware interface card. The link name can contain up to eight characters. The first character must be alphabetic but all others can be can be alphanumeric. local area network interface controller (LANIC) A hardware card that fits into the backplane of the HP 9000 and provides a physical layer interface for IEEE 802.
Glossary multicast A technique that allows copies of a single packet to be passed to a selected subset of all possible destinations. Some hardware, for example Ethernet, supports multicast by allowing a network interface to belong to one or more multicast groups. Broadcast is a special form of multicast in which the subset of devices to receive a copy of a packet consists of the entire set. multiplexer (MUX) A device that allows multiple communication links to use a single channel.
Glossary Node Manger HP OpenView Network Node Manger provides fault, configuration, and performance management for multivendor TCP/IP networks. port An outlet through which a device can be connected to a computer, consisting of a physical connection point and controlling hardware, controlling software, and configurable port characteristics. Ports can be thought of as data paths through which a device communicates with the computer.
Glossary and can be used for either modem or direct connections. RS-422 The Electronic Industries Association (EIA) Level 1 specification implemented by HP in a 5-pin version that can be used for direct device connection up to a distance of 1500 meters (4000 feet). RS-423 The Electronic Industries Association (EIA) Level 1 single-ended specification that can be used for direct device connection up to a distance of 200 meters (600 feet).
Glossary the node. switching See DTC switching. synchronous A mode of operation or transmission in which a continuous data stream is generated without intervals between characters. The data stream is synchronized by clock signals at the receiver and transmitter. As a result, fast transmission speeds (above 9600 bps) are attainable. system configuration The method for telling the operating system which peripheral I/O devices are attached to the DTC and which parameters are required for system operation.
