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 justC 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]

L[OGOUT]
