About DTC code versions
You can add a DTC even if the DTC is not physically present. This allows you to
install the DTC unit later at your convenience.
DTC Manager can manage DTCs that run different DTC code versions. Before you
add a DTC you should verify the DTC code versions that are available on your
server and the DTC code version that is running on the DTC you want to add.
Checking DTC code versions
On the DTC unit
To check the current DTC code version (that runs on the DTC unit): connect the
display terminal to the DTC’s diagnostics port and go to the Network Management
screen. The DTC code version number is displayed at the top of this screen.
On the server
Use the rdtcver command to display the list of available DTC code versions.
Determining which DTC code version to use
Since DTC Manager can manage DTCs that run a different DTC code versions you
can use either:
• the default DTC code version that runs on the server—this allows you to use the
latest functionalities,
OR
• another DTC code version—this allows you to use the previous (14.1) code
version.
Adding a DTC
Before you add a DTC you must:
• decide which DTC code version to use (see above)
• get the name of the DTC, its IP address and the DTC code version—this
information is displayed on the DTC’s Network Management screen.
