Configuring Systems for Terminals, Printers, and Other Serial Devices (32022-90051)

Configuring Serial Devices (for Host-Based Management)
Modify the Network Management Configuration File
The LAN address can be found on a label inside the front cover or on
the back panel of the actual DTC box.
For DTC 16RX access to an HP 3000 in an MPE/iX host-based
management environment, use the value 00-00-00-00-00-00 as
the DTC 16RX LAN address. Configuration of the DTC 16RX on the
HP 9000 host using DTC 16RX Manager uses the DTC’s IP address
and not its LAN address.
3. Type in the DTC’s node name in the “DTC node name” field.
Use the format nodename.domain.organization, where nodename
identifies the DTC. If there is more than one DTC on the network,
the nodename of each DTC must be unique. The following are
examples of valid DTC node names on the same network:
ALPHA.ACCTG.TEKLAB
BETA.ACCTG.TEKLAB
Note that “DTC name” and “DTC node name” are two different
fields. However, it is acceptable (and common) to use the nodename
part of the “DTC node name” as the “DTC name”, such as:
DTC name = ALPHA
DTC node name = ALPHA.ACCTG.TEKLAB
4. (Optional) Enter an IP address for the DTC, if you want this DTC to
be able to respond to PING/iX requests. Otherwise, leave the “DTC
IP Address” field blank.
For DTC 16RX access to an HP 3000 in an MPE/iX host-based
management environment, the IP address of the DTC 16RX is
configured using the DTC 16RX Manager on the HP 9000 host and
not on the HP 3000. Any value entered in this field for the
DTC 16RX will be ignored.
Refer to Chapter 2, “Before Configuring Terminal and Printer
Connections,” for more information on IP addresses.
5. Enable the event logging classes that you want. It is recommended
that you enable classes 2 and 3 and disable classes 4 through 6. See
“DTC Event Logging” in Chapter 2, “Before Configuring Terminal
and Printer Connections,” for information on these event logging
classes. Note that logging class 1 is not configurable and is always
enabled.
Event logging classes do not apply for DTC 16RX access to an
HP 3000 in an MPE/iX host-based management environment; any
values entered in these fields for the DTC 16RX will be ignored.
6. Verify that the cursor is in the “Type” field under “Enter card
types as installed in the DTC.” Enter the card type for each
card in the DTC The valid card types are listed on the screen.
