Preparing to Configure DTCs

Chapter 2

2 Preparing to Configure DTCs

This chapter contains information that is needed before configuration of systems for

asynchronous device (terminal and printer) connections can begin. It also provides

worksheets for you to collect your network configuration data before actual

configuration.

Chapter 5, “Configuring Serial Devices (for Host-Based Management),” and Chapter 6,

“Configuring Serial Devices (for PC-Based Management),” show step-by-step process for

configuring terminals, printers, and other serial devices.

NOTE If you are configuring X.25 networking capabilities on a HP e3000 Series 900 computer

using host-based network management, use Configuring and Managing Host-Based

X.25 Links instead of this manual to configure DTCs and DTC connections.

NOTE You can automatically add and configure a new host-based managed DTC to the

HP 3000 system without needing to specify detailed configuration information such as

DTC cards/boards and ldevs. For more information refer to Chapter 3, “ Automatic

Configuration of DTCs.”
