About DTC ports
Ports on a DTC are organized in two sets of eight called port groups. Each port
group can be either all direct connect or all modem ports. The default setting is
direct connect port groups. Each port group corresponds to a connector on the rear
panel of the DTC.
Note A port group corresponds to a connector on the rear panel of the DTC. The type of
port group you configure depends on whether you have a modem connected to your
DTC or are using connection (direct connect) accessory.
The procedures described in this chapter are accessed from the DTC Rear Panel
Configuration screen. This screen is opened when you execute the commands
rdtcadd or rdtcmodify.
rdtcadd adds a single DTC to your network and opens the Rear Panel
Configuration screen to let you modify the configuration.
rdtcmodify opens the Rear Panel Configuration screen of the DTC you specified.
Changing a port group
When you change a port group, the ports are configured with the user terminal port
default configuration. Any data that was in these port configurations is lost.
