Multi-System Access
Figure 1-4 shows a sample network configuration. The terminals connected to DTC 1 are
configured so that they are able to establish connections to either System A or System B
through the DTC Switching User Interface. Output devices connected to DTC 1, such
as serial printers or plotters, are configured so that they can be opened using the
software from either host.
The DTC can be managed by either the OpenView Windows Workstation or the HPe3000
host. The HPe3000 host or the OpenView Windows Workstation must reside on the same
LAN segment as the DTCs which it manages. That is no routers are allowed between the
Managing platform and the managed DTCs.
