Using the HP DTC 16RX Manager

About the procedure

Once a port has been conﬁgured, this conﬁguration can be copied and pasted to

other ports as described in chapter 12, "Copying and Pasting Conﬁgurations."

To use the procedures described in this chapter, the DTC you want to conﬁgure must

ﬁrst be added to the management set. If necessary, its port group and type should

also be conﬁgured.

Note 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 specified DTC.

Configurable port parameters

There are three groups of attributes for DTC ports that you can change from the

Rear Panel Conﬁguration screen.

• Port Type, such as printer, terminal or host. The default port type is terminal.

Refer to chapter 10, "Changing Port Type to Terminal, Printer or Host."

• Port Options, such as DTC user interface time-out and switching (explained in

the section starting on page 76).

• Port Parameters, such as parity and data transfer mode (refer to the section

starting on page 81).
