DTC User Interface Commands
The following commandsare 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 just C 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]
Help Help displays a list of the available commands,
their abbreviations, and a brief explanation of

dropped.

closed.
