Typical Network Configurations
NOTE If you are configuring X.25 networking capabilities on a HP 3000
Series 900 computer using host-based network management, use
Configuring and Managing Host-Based X.25 Links instead of this
manual to configure DTCs and DTC connections.
Use this manual for directions on how to perform Dynamic/Automatic
Configuration or to execute a DTS shutdown or restart.
The DTC makes communication possible across a wide variety of
network configurations. The DTC provides the following:
• Asynchronous connections to HP 9000s and third-party ARPA nodes
via Telnet.
• Access to X.25 networks.
• Access to HP 3000s via Telnet from HP9000’s or third party ARPA
nodes.
The networking environment dictates not only the connection options,
but also the type of network management used.
If users only need access to HP 3000 computers or access from the DTC
ports to HP 9000s and third party ARPA nodes, then each DTC can be
managed from the HP 3000 computer. This method is known as
host-based network management.
If users need access to HP 3000s via Telnet from HP 9000s or third
party ARPA nodes, then each DTC must be managed by an OpenView
Windows Workstation. This method is referred to as PC-based
network management.
If X.25 communications is required, then either PC-based
Management or Host-based X.25 Manager can be used.
