Fields DTC name A display-only field. The configuration applies to the DTC whose name
is shown.
DTC user interface timeout Specifies the inactivity time before the terminal
connection to the DTC user interface is automatically disconnected.
This timeout applies only to those ports that have the “DTC user
interface timeout?” field enabled on the Terminal Switching
Configuration screen (Figure 7-3). The timer is inactive during a
terminal connection to a system via the DTC and reactivates after you
log off and return to the DTC user interface. Valid values range from 5
to 300 seconds. The default is 300 seconds.
User prompt Sets the prompt displayed at the DTC user interface. Only terminal
ports with switching capability will see this prompt. Terminal ports
without switching capability are connected directly to the host system
and bypass the DTC user interface. The prompt is one line long, a
maximum of 16 characters, and is case-sensitive. The default is DTC>.
Welcome message Optional field which specifies the message displayed when the DTC
user interface is first opened or when a STATUS command is issued at
the DTC user interface. Text entered can be a maximum of 400
characters and is case-sensitive. Control characters can be entered as
ˆchar. A line break in the message can be added by embedding the
control character sequence “ˆjˆm” in the text.
