Supportability and Other Enhancements
To support the enhancements listed above, the following TermDSM and DTCCNTRL functions have also been
enhanced:
TermDSM Commands
• CONNECT
This command now displays the appropriate information for all supported connection types through both
the X.25 and Direct connect cards that are going to any system that has been allowed access from the
DTC.
• MULTI
This new command allows you start or stop the X.25 and/or PAD protocols on multiple X.25 cards in one
or more DTCs with one command.
• X25SITE
This new command displays information on X.25 system-to-system connections between HP e3000
systems. This feature displays the same information as the X.25 Site Management feature that was
available on the OVDTCMgr platform.
DTCCNTRL Enhancements
• All new and changed NMMGR DTS configuration screens are fully supported by Dynamic Configuration.

successful, DTCCNTRL will now try to verify that the changes to all PAD devices on a card will succeed
before proceeding with the changes.
