R[ESET] DT[C]

Resets the hardware of a particular DTC or group of DTCs.

Security level: 1.

Syntax

DT[C] dtcnums

Parameter

dtcnums The DTC number TermDSM associates with a

particular DTC. The DTC command lists each DTC with

its assigned DTC number.

You may also reset multiple DTCs with one RESET DTC

command. The ﬁrst command below resets DTC 3, 5,

and 9. The second command resets DTCs 4 through 15,

inclusive. These two commands are typed at the RESET

subcommand prompt.

DTC 3, 5, 9

DTC 4/15

Description

After entering the DTC subcommand, the following is printed on the

terminal:

Warning: This will reset all users on that DTC. (TDSM 44)

Do you want to continue (yes/no)?

If you answer no to this question, you will be returned to the reset

prompt. If you answer yes, the reset continues and the following

messages are displayed:

The reset operation can take as long as 7 minutes.

The reset operation causes a DTC selftest to occur.

The DTC subcommand causes a complete DTC selftest to be run. This

selftest includes the selftests for each of the interface cards within the

DTC. All jobs or sessions that are running on devices connected to the

DTC are aborted.

NOTE The RESET DTC subcommand for a single DTC is functionally identical

to the SELFTEST DTC subcommand of the TermDSM DIAG command.

The inclusion of both commands is for your convenience.
