This chapter describes how you can make most DTS configuration changes dynamically using NMMGR without rebooting the system (herein referred to as dynamic configuration. Such configuration changes include adding/deleting/ modifying terminals, printers, and DTCs.

This chapter also discusses the DTS subsystem shutdown and restart capabilities provided through the DTCCNTRL command.

Refer to Chapters 5 and 6 for detailed steps on the DTS configuration process for host-based and PC-based DTC management, respectively.

	NOTE: To automatically add/configure a host-based managed DTC to DTS without needing to specify detailed configuration information such as DTC cards/boards and ldevs, refer to Chapter 3 “Automatic Configuration of DTCs” To manage/dynamically configure host-based X.25 links, refer to the Configuring and Managing Host-Based X.25 Links manual.
