This section assumes that the DTC or other terminal server is configured and can be accessed over the LAN before attempting to configure DDFA on the system. If this is not the case, then refer to the manuals for the DTC Manager/UX product (HP J2120A) or the OpenView DTC Manager product (HP D2355A) for instructions on how to configure the DTC. For non-DTC servers, refer to the manufacturer's documentation for information on configuration and addressing formats used. Once all of the server device ports are configured and downloaded, you will be ready to configure DDFA.

First, you must record some network information about the DTC or other terminal server, which will be required for the next section, DDFA Configuration Tasks. It includes:

  • Node name used by the DTC or other terminal server, in the form name.domain.organization.company, or an alias name as configured in the /etc/hosts file or domain name server of the system.

  • IP address used by the DTC or other terminal server.

  • Port addressing information for each physical port on the server to be configured by DDFA. For a DTC port, this is its board number and port number, or its IP address. For a port on a non-DTC server, it may be its IP address or its TCP address.

  • Port type (direct connection or modem).

  • Connection type (outgoing or incoming connection).
