Make sure that the power for the DTC that you want to automatically
add and configure is turned on.
Enter the LAN address of the DTC to be configured 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 actual DTC box. Note that the
LAN address is different from the IP address which is discussed
in step 4 below.
(Optional) Enter the DTC node name
in the format node.domain.organization in the
"DTC node name"
field. If you leave this field blank, a default DTC node name will
be created. The default node name created will be DTCxxxx.domain.organization,
where xxxx are
the last four digits of the DTC's LAN address and domain.organization
are taken from the host's node name.
(Optional) Enter the DTC IP address in the "DTC IP Address"
field. The IP address is used if your HP 3000 is configured as part
of a network and you want the DTC to be able to respond to PING/iX
requests.
Press the [Auto Config]
function key to invoke DTCCNTRL and start the automatic configuration
process.
The following will appear on the screen indicating
successful DTC automatic configuration:
DTCxxxx.domain.organization automatic configuration in progress.....
(DTC download messages will appear here if you are at the
system console.)
DTCxxxx.domain.organization configured and downloaded successfully.
All ports configured successfully.
(Press RETURN when done viewing screen contents)
Press the [Return]
key when you have finished viewing the automatic configuration messages.
You will return to the DTC Automatic Configuration screen.
When automatic configuration is complete, a default configuration
is created in the NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS
file. The default configuration will be saved with DTC name as DTCxxxx
where "xxxx" is the last 4 digits on the LAN address.
You may automatically configure other DTCs from
this screen by repeating steps 1 through 7 for each DTC. If you
have automatically configured all desired DTCs, proceed to step
9.
Press [Prior Screen]
to return to the DTC Configuration Selection screen. From here,
you may continue with other DTS configuration changes (refer to
Chapter 5 “Configuring Serial Devices (for
Host-Based Management)” for steps on
how to do this) or exit NMMGR. If you decide to exit and have already
completed other DTS configuration changes in addition to an automatic
DTC configuration, you must first validate and cross-validate your
configuration file. Otherwise, you may simply exit NMMGR.
