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, “Before Configuring Terminal and Printer
Connections,” for more information on card types for each DTC.
7. Press the [Save Data] function key.
8. To configure a card in the DTC, enter the number of the card you
want to configure in the “To configure a card, enter a card
number ...” field at the bottom of the screen. The desired card
number must have a valid card type entered in the “type” field.
Press the
[Config Card] function key. Proceed to step 7: Configure

To configure the ports on a DTC 16iX/16MX/16RX, simply press the
[Config Ports] function key. Proceed to step 7: Configure DTC Cards.
9. Repeat steps 1 through 8 above for every newly-added DTC to be
managed by the HP 3000 host. If you want to select a DTC that has
already been configured, enter the DTC’s name in the DTC name
field and press the
[Read DTC] function key.
Next Key Labels When the [Next Key Labels] key is pressed, another set of key labels are
displayed, this allows additional optional information to be configured
for the DTC. These keys provide access to the following configuration
screens:
DNS/IP
Routing This key goes to a screen used to configure the DTC to
use Domain Name Services for IP address resolution
and IP routing configuration. These services are
configured when back-to- back connection through
routers are used or connections are to be made from
DTC ports to HP 9000s or third party ARPA nodes. See
Chapter 8, “Additional DTC Configuration,” for steps to
do this.
Tune DTC This key goes to a screen to change the AFCP, TCP and
management timers for the DTC, if needed. Refer to
Chapter 8, “Additional DTC Configuration,” for steps to
do this.
DTC U I This key goes to a screen that has information that
defines how the DTC user interface behaves. The DTC
user interface is used when a DTC port is configured as
a switched port. See Chapter 1, “Introduction,” for a
description of how switching is used and Chapter 7,
“Terminal and Printer Profiles,” for a description of how
to configure ports to allow switching.
