• 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

• MPE/iX version 5.0 for remote connections

For more detailed information on conﬁguring printers, nailed and non-nailed

devices on the HP 3000 Series 900, refer to Conﬁguring Systems for Terminals,

Printers and Other Serial Devices.

Configuring a local connection to an HP 3000 system

There are two basic steps to conﬁguring a DTC for connections to HP 3000 Series

900 systems:

• Configuring the DTC's LAN board

• Configuring the individual ports.

This section gives an overview only of the steps in the conﬁguration of the DTC’s

LAN board speciﬁc to HP 3000 Series 900 connections. See the online help for

detailed information on the ﬁelds.

• The DTC must be assigned a valid NS node name in the DTC Node Name field

of the IP & DNS Parameters Conﬁguration screen. This is the only essential

step specific to connections to HP 3000 Series 900 systems.

• The other fields in the LAN Configuration window should be filled in according

to the information in chapter 7, "Configuring a Lan Board"

• If you have problems with network traffic, you may need to change the values in

the AFCP Retransmission Timers screen.

• For remote connections, fill in the DNS Server field in the IP & DNS

Parameters Conﬁguration screen.
