Step 6: Specify DTC Configuration
The DTC Configuration screen is displayed after you select the DTC type at the DTC
Configuration Selection screen. Figure 5-5 shows the DTC Configuration screen for a
DTC 72MX. (DTC Configuration screens for DTC 16iX, DT C16MX/RX, DTC 16, and
DTC 48 vary slightly).

1. Enter the DTC’s name in the “DTC name” field.
The DTC name can be up to eight alphanumeric characters, beginning with a letter.
The DTC name must be unique on the system. It is acceptable (and common) to use
the nodename part of the DTC node name as the DTC name. See step 3 below for more
information.
2. Enter the DTC’s LAN address in the “DTC LAN station address” field.
The LAN address can be found on a label inside the front cover or on the back panel
of the DTC box.
If a valid LAN address is entered, then this DTC will be defined as a managed DTC
on the system. If you want to define this DTC as a non-managed DTC on this
system, then use the value 00-00-00-00-00-00 as the LAN address. In this case,
you will be allowed to define only NAILED devices for all the connector cards.
For DTC 16RX access to an HP e3000 in an MPE/iX host-based management
environment, you must use the value 00-00-00-00-00-00 as the DTC 16RX LAN
address.
