Tuning Your DTC
This section describes the steps for tuning your DTC by selecting the
AFCP, TCP and management timers that are appropriate for your DTC
and network traffic. The timer selection is made by choosing a set from
a predefined set of timer values. The TCP timers are only used for
back-to-back connections from switched DTC ports.

screen is reached by pressing
[F2], the [Tune DTC] function key at the
DTC Configuration screen.

management timers are configured on the DTC OpenView workstation.
