Using the HP DTC 16RX Manager

33
Adding a DTC
4
DTC Name Enter a name consisting of up to 8 alphanumeric characters. You can include
hyphens (-) and underscores (_) but the first character must be alphabetic. The DTC
Name field must not be left blank and must be identical to the DTC Name entered in
the Network Management screen on the DTC. The DTC name is case sensitive.
The DTC Name is a unique name used by the DTC manager to identify a particular
DTC. For simplicity, the DTC name and the nodename portion of the DTC node
name are often the same name. However, they are used for separate tasks by the
DTC Manager and the system.
DTC IP Address Enter a value in the form x.x.x.x where x is a decimal number from 0 through
255. The address cannot be 0.0.0.0 or 255.255.255.255 which are reserved
addresses. Assign a unique IP address to each DTC. The DTC IP address must be
identical to the DTC IP address entered in the Network Information screen on the
DTC.
Each DTC's IP address must also be added to your name database, for example the
hosts file or the DNS (Domain Name System) server. To use a DNS server you
must configure the DTC for DNS (“Configuring IP and DNS parameters” ). The
hosts file is documented in the Installing and Administering LAN/9000 Software
Manual.
This parameter is the IP address of the DTC itself. Do not confuse it with the IP
address of the host system, or with the IP address of a port (see page 83).
DTC Node Name When a new DTC called dtcname is added, it is configured with a default DTC
node name DTCNAME.DOMAIN.ORGANIZATION. This field must be filled for the
DTC Manager to operate correctly. For connections to HP 3000 systems, you must
set this field to a value appropriate for your network (“Configuring IP and DNS
parameters” ). If you only use this DTC for connections to HP 9000 and other Telnet
systems, this field is not used and can be left at the default value.
