This chapter provides step-by-step instructions for configuring terminal, printer, and other serial device connections on the HP 3000 Series 900 using host-based management (that is, when the DTCs are managed by the HP 3000 host). For information on configuring for PC-based management, refer to Chapter 6 “Configuring Serial Devices (for PC-Based Management)” PC-Based Management means that you use an HP OpenView Workstation (PC) to manage your DTCs.

This chapter will use the configuration information that was collected on the worksheets in Chapter 2 “Before Configuring Terminal and Printer Connections”

	NOTE: If you use OpenView DTC Manager to manage your DTCs, refer to Chapter 6 “Configuring Serial Devices (for PC-Based Management)” instead of this chapter.
