When the HP 3000 is configured to use host-based X.25 networking
configurations, the command DTCCNTRL is provided
to allow operators to start and stop X.25 system-to-system or PAD
connection support, obtain status about whether X.25 and PAD support
are up, and to dynamically change many configuration parameters
entered for the DTS subsystem without rebooting the system.
System Operator (OP) capability is required to obtain status
and start and stop X.25 and PAD support. Network Administrator (NM)
is required to perform dynamic configuration
Dynamic Configuration |
 |
You can make many DTS changes dynamically without rebooting
the system, or resetting and redownloading the DTC. This capability
is available if you already have a valid network configuration file,
and there were no errors reported by DCC during the last system
reboot, or DTS shutdown and restart. This allows you to modify the
DTS configuration without impacting all the users accessing the
system through the DTC that was changed.
For more information on how to invoke dynamic configuration,
see Chapter 7 “Managing Networks with DTCCNTRL” of this
manual, or the Configuring Systems for Terminals, Printers,
and other Serial Devices manual.
Automatic Configuration |
|
Host-based management also gives you the capability to add
and configure a new DTC automatically, without the need to specify
most of the detailed configuration information, such as DTC cards
and ldevs. This can be done within the NMMGR utility or at the session
prompt with the command DTCCNTRL. Refer to Chapter 7 “Managing Networks with DTCCNTRL” for further information
on using automatic configuration to configure X.25 cards. See Configuring
Systems for Terminals, Printers, and Other Serial Devices
manual for more information on how to invoke automatic configuration.
Obtaining Status |
|
The DTCCNTRL Status function displays the current status of
each DTC/X.25 Network Access card installed in a specified DTC.
Use the Status function to determine whether or not X.25 or PAD
support is currently active for a DTC/X.25 Network Access card.
See Chapter 7 “Managing Networks with DTCCNTRL” for more
information on obtaining status using DTCCNTRL.
