Automatic Conﬁguration of DTCs

Performing an Automatic Conﬁguration Outside NMMGR

• Automatic conﬁguration operation speciﬁed:

:DTCCNTRL func=autoconf

3. The following prompt will appear:

****Make sure your DTC is turned on NOW****

Enter the DTC LAN address in the format of

xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx or press RETURN to exit:

First, make sure that the DTC’s power has been turned on. Then,

enter the LAN address of the DTC to be conﬁgured. The LAN

address can be found on a label inside the front cover or on the back

panel of the actual DTC box. Note that the LAN address is different

from the IP address which is discussed in step 5 below.

4. DTCCNTRL will create a default DTC node name structured as

DTCxxxx.domain.organization, where xxxx are the last four

digits of the DTC’s LAN address and domain.organization are

taken from the host's node name.

At the prompt “The default DTC node name is

DTCxxxx.domain.organization. Press RETURN to continue

or enter the DTC node name to overwrite default:” press

the

[Return] key to continue or enter a different DTC node name to

overwrite the default.

5. At the prompt “Enter optional DTC IP address in the

format of n.n.n.n or press RETURN to continue:” enter

the optional DTC IP address or press the

[Return] key to continue.

The IP address is used if your HP 3000 is conﬁgured as part of a

network and you want the DTC to be able to respond to PING/iX

requests.

6. The following will appear on the screen indicating successful DTC

automatic conﬁguration:
