There are several types of software and hardware products and services used in conjunction with DTC Device File Access Utilities. Refer to the "Related HP Documentation" section for more information.

  • HP-UX operating system version. The DTC Device File Access Utilities are included with HP-UX version 9.0 and later. The DDFA Utilities consists of executable files, default configuration files and manual reference pages.

  • Internet Services. DDFA is an extension of the Telnet service . Because Telnet is one of the Internet Services (HP B1030B), DDFA is automatically installed and requires Internet Services and the LAN Link to be configured and operating properly.

  • HP 9000 Series 700 and 800 systems. The DDFA Utilities are supported only on HP 9000 Series 700 and 800 systems. Because these systems have Internet Services as part of their HP-UX system, these systems also have DDFA installed.

  • DTC Manager/UX or OpenView DTC Manager. The HP DTCs which access an HP 9000 Series 800 are configured and managed by either the host-based HP DTC Manager/UX (HP J2120A) or the PC-based OpenView DTC Manager (HP D2355A). The PC-based OpenView DTC Manager also configures and manages DTCs which access HP 9000 Series 700 systems and HP 3000 systems. The version for DTC Manager/UX should be A.04.00 or later. The version of the OpenView DTC Manager should be A.14.10 or later. The version for DTC 16RX Manager/UX should be A.04.00 or later.

  • Printers and plotters. DDFA Utilities can be used with the HP-UX spooler for printers and plotters for which a model script exists., and are supported for use with HP DTCs.

  • Terminals. Any terminal supported for use with HP DTCs is also supported.

  • Modems. Any modem supported for use with HP DTCs is also supported.

  • HP DTCs. The following DTCs are supported on HP 9000 systems:

    • HP 2340A - DTC 16 with 16 ports.

    • HP 2360A - DTC 16TN with 16 ports.

    • HP 2363A - DTC 16MX with 16 ports.

    • HP 2364A - DTC 16RX with 16 ports.

    • HP 2345A - DTC 48 with 48 ports.

    • HP 2370A - DTC 72MX with 72 ports.

  • Other Terminal Servers. DDFA Utilities can be used with non-HP terminal servers which use addressing schemes similar to the DTC. However, in order to work, the individual user must perform three tasks: (a) Configure the non-DTC terminal server ports for use with the DDFA product. (b) Configure DDFA for use with non-DTC ports, and (c) Test whether this particular terminal server configuration works correctly with DDFA before calling HP.

The user must follow the configuration guidelines discussed in this manual, as well as those given by the specific terminal server vendor in order for HP to support the DDFA interface.
