NOTE Pressing the
[Show Ldevs]
key will display a list of all the ldev numbers configured in
NMMGR in addition to the DTC name, card type, and profile name.
4. Enter the profile name for each port in the “Profile Name” field.
A profile for the port defines the characteristics of the device to be connected to that
port.
For direct terminals ports, the suggested profile to use is TR10D96. For direct printer
ports, the suggested profile to use is PR18D96 (or PR22D24 for HP printers with status
checking). For a UPS connected to a DTC port, the suggested profile is UP10D12.
The tables in Chapter 7, “Terminal and Printer Profiles,” list terminal, printer and
UPS profiles supplied by the system. You may also create your own profiles. Refer to
Chapter 7, “Terminal and Printer Profiles,” for more information on profiles.
5. Repeat above two steps for every port in this card.
NOTE To reduce typing ldev numbers and profiles on the screen, you can use the
[Fill Card]
key to automatically assign ldev numbers and profile names. First, enter an ldev
number (and profile name if you do not wish to use the default profile name) for port
0, then press
[Fill Card]
; the system will automatically assign incremental ldev
numbers to each subsequent port on the screen and copy the specified profile for each
port. The system will automatically save the data it has entered.
The
[Clear Display]
key on your keyboard will clear the part of your screen that is
below the cursor position. You may use this key and the
[Fill Card]
key to quickly
modify a screen.
6. Press the
[Save Data]
function key to save the data on the screen.
CAUTION Before you exit this screen, make sure you press
[Save Data]
if you want to keep the
data on the screen; otherwise your screen input will be lost. This occurs even if you
temporarily exit the screen to read
[Help]
information.
7. To configure another card, enter the card number you want to configure in the field
“To configure a different card, enter its number,...” . The desired card
number must have already been configured in the previous section, “Step 6: Specify
DTC Configuration.” The card is configured if a valid card type is entered in the
“Type” field on the previous DTC configuration screen.
8. Press the
[Config Card]
function key. The corresponding screen for the card number
entered in the last step will be displayed.
9. If all the cards have been configured, press the
[Prior Screen]
function key to return to
the DTC Configuration Selection screen to select another DTC to configure.
Otherwise, if every DTC has been configured, press the
[Validate DTS/LINK]
function
key to validate the configuration file.
NOTE NMMGR allows the configuration of up to 4649 terminal I/O devices. The largest
valid ldev number allowed is 4679.
