This chapter describes how to configure additional optional configuration parameters that are available from the DTC Configuration screen. These screens (except for Tune DTC) are only available from a host-based configuration. These additional screens allow you to configure the following:

  • Configure the DTC to use the address resolution facilities of Domain Name Services (DNS) and IP routing. These services are only used by Switched DTC ports when connecting to an ARPA (TCP/IP) node.

  • Tune your DTC by selecting AFCP, TCP and management timers that are appropriate for your DTC and network traffic.

  • Configure the parameters that define how the DTC user interface behaves on switched DTC ports.

  • Configure the DTC to act as an SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) agent.

If the configuration is PC-based then refer to the Using HP OpenView DTC Manager manual.

These additional screens are accessed from the DTC Configuration screen. When the DTC Configuration screen is accessed, function key [F5], the [Next Key Labels] is available. When the [Next Key Labels] key is pressed, another set of key labels is displayed that allows these additional screens to be accessed. When the [Next Key Labels] is pressed again, the original set of function keys is displayed.
