As system start-up nears completion, the Datacomm Configurator (DCC) creates the LINK and DTS managers. If the procedure is successful, the following message will be displayed on the console:

DCC STARTUP - OK!

If the procedure is not successful, the message above is replaced by one or more error messages. When looking up an error message, note that the following strings of characters are used to represent information that is inserted when the message is generated:

  • P-L is replaced by a DCC procedure number and DCC location number; used for detailed diagnostics by Hewlett-Packard support representative.

  • SSSSSSSS is replaced by an eight-digit hexadecimal value; also used for detailed diagnostics.

  • MMM and LLL are replaced by decimal values; used for detailed diagnostics.

  • PATH is replaced by an NMCONF path or LLIO physical path.

The DCC did not receive a reply message within the allotted time.

ACTION

Contact your Hewlett-Packard support representative.

MESSAGE

DCC ERROR P-L, too many DTCs configured.

CAUSE

The NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS file contains more than the supported number of DTCs.

ACTION

Remove excess DTCs from the NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS file and reboot.

MESSAGE

DCC ERROR P-L, link name specified for the DTS does not exist.

CAUSE

The link name configured in NMMGR on the DTS DATACOMM & TERMINAL CONTROLLER CONFIGURATION screen does not match that on the LINK SELECTION screen.

ACTION

Go the DTS DATACOMM & TERMINAL CONTROLLER CONFIGURATION screen and enter the correct link name.

MESSAGE
