1. Verify that the “DTC name” and “Card number” displayed are correct.
2. Use the
[Tab]
to move the cursor to the first nailed port on the card. Enter the ldev
number and profile for each nailed device.
Ldev numbers used for each port on the DTCs must be unique. Up to 4649 terminal
I/O devices may be configured on an HP e3000 Series 900. The largest valid ldev
number is 4679.
A profile for the port defines the characteristics of the device to be connected to that
port. For direct terminal 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. Refer to Chapter 7, “Terminal and Printer Profiles,” for more information
on profiles.
3. Press the
[Save Data]
key.
4. Enter the card number of a different card that needs to be configured in the “To
configure a different card, enter a card number, ...” field on the screen.
