DTC User Interface Commands
The following commands are available at the DTC user interface. Each command can be
abbreviated. For example, to establish a connection, you can enter either C or CONNECT.
The commands are not case-sensitive, so either c or C can be used.
Connect Connect opens a connection to a system. The syntax of the command
is:
C[ONNECT] < NODE NAME | IP ADDRESS | DNS NAME >
• If a default destination has been defined for the port, then entering
just C or CONNECT will connect directly to the system.
• You should never pad an IP address with leading zeros. For
example, if the IP address you are trying to connect to is
128.10.12.11, you must type connect 128.10.12.11. If you type
connect 128.010.012.011, the connection attempt will fail.
Disconnect Disconnect closes the current system connection.
D[ISCONNECT]
Help Help displays a list of the available commands, their abbreviations,
and a brief explanation of what they do.

Logout Logout logs the user out of the DTC.
L[OGOUT]
• If the connection is via modems, the line is dropped.
• If a session is open on a system, it is closed.
Recall Recall resumes a connection.

been set to binary by a Set Binary command. For back-to-back
