Configuring DTCs Step-by-Step
Modify the Network Management Configuration File
Chapter 3
76
Use the format nodename.domain.organization, where nodename identifies the DTC.
The nodename of each node on the network in this domain and organization 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. If
this DTC is configured as a non-managed DTC, then any value entered will be
ignored.
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 for the
DTC 16RX in this field will be ignored.
Refer to Chapter 2, “Introductory Screens,” 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, “Introductory Screens,” for information on these event logging classes.
Logging class 1 is not configurable and is always enabled. Event logging classes do
not apply for a DTC 16RX or a non-managed DTC; any values entered in these fields
will be ignored.
Event logging classes do not apply for access to an HP 3000 in an MPE/iX host-based
management environment using a DTC 16RX; 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.
Note that DTC 16iX/16MX/16RX does not have cards since its port connectors are
built directly onto the DTC backplane.
Refer to Chapter 2, “Introductory Screens,” for more information on card types for
each DTC.
7. Enter ‘Y’ in the Enable RAFCP Front End field if you intend to use this DTC as a
front-end DTC for routeable AFCP communications. You must also go to the DNS/IP
Routing screen and provide the IP addresses of the Domain Name Servers and
routers that you intend to use.If this DTC is configured as a non-managed DTC, then
any value entered will be ignored.
8. Enter ‘Y’ in the Automatic Restart field if you want to have the X.25 and PAD Access
protocols automatically restarted if the DTC or board is reset or after a power
failure.
9. Press the
[Save Data]
function key.
