Selecting a Configuration Path
Step 4. Press the [Save Data] key to save the node name in the configuration file
(create the data record). The Data flag will be set to “Y” when the data
record exists.
Step 5. Proceed to one of the NMMGR configuration subbranches by pressing
the appropriate function key.
Each of the configuration subbranches are described.
Configuring Terminals, Printers, and Other Serial
Devices
Terminals, printers, and other serial devices are connected to HP e3000
computers through a device called the Datacommunications and
Terminal Controller (DTC). In order to connect to a device, the system’s
configuration file must contain information that makes it possible for
the DTC, as well as the devices attached to the DTC, to establish
communications with the system. DTCs and their devices are
configured through NMMGR’s distributed terminal subsystem (DTS)
configuration.
If you press the key labeled
[DTS] at the Main screen, you will be taken
to the Host Configuration screen (Figure 3-3), the first screen in a
progression that lets you configure DTS for Host-based network
management only. The PC-based management screen will vary slightly.
