Automatic configuration provides the capability to add, and
configure a new host-based managed DTC to the HP 3000 system without
the need to specify most of the detailed configuration information.
You can initiate automatic configuration using the DTCCNTRL
command at the CI prompt, or from within NMMGR. This section describes
how to start automatic configuration at the CI prompt.
When the new DTC is configured, all serial cards will be configured
with nailed direct connect ldevs using the profile TR10AUTO.
You may modify this profile to suit your needs. The profile TR10AUTO
that is provided has the same characteristics as TR10D96.
SNP cards will be configured with a default configuration.
This configuration is not complete. You must use NMMGR to enter
data for the Level 1 and 2 screen and the Level 3 screen. No PAD
ldevs are created.
On the Level 1 and 2 screen you must enter the line speed
for the connection. On the Level 3 screen you must enter the X.25
card address, Maximum number of PAD connections, and the Low and
High values for the PVCs or SVCs. See sections "Step 9:
Configure X.25 Level 1 and 2" and "Step 10: Configure
X.25 Level 3 and Miscellaneous" in Chapter 3 “Configuring DTCs Step-by-Step” for details on
these fields.
Follow these steps to automatically add a DTC to DTS:
Turn on the DTCs power.
Invoke DTCCNTRL
at the CI prompt with the following command:
:DTCCNTRL FUNC=autoconf
The following prompt will appear:
****Make sure your DTC is turned on NOW****
Enter the DTC LAN address in the format of xx-xx-xx- xx-xx-xx or press RETURN to exit:
First, make sure that the DTC's power has been turned
on. Then, enter the LAN address of the DTC to be configured. The LAN
address can be found on a label inside the front cover or on the
back panel of the actual DTC box. Note that the LAN address is different
from the IP address which is discussed in step 5.
DTCCNTRL will create
a default DTC node name structured as DTCXXXX.domain.organization,
where "XXXX"
are the last four digits of the DTC's LAN address and "domain.organization"
are taken from the host's node name.
At the prompt "The default DTC node name is DTCXXXX.domain.organization. Press RETURN to continue or enter the DTC node name to overwrite default:"
press the [Return] key to continue
or enter a different DTC node name to overwrite the default.
At the prompt "Enter optional DTC IP address in the format of n.n.n.n or press RETURN to continue:"
enter the optional DTC IP address or press the [Return]
key to continue. The IP address is used if your HP 3000
is configured as part of a network and you want the DTC to be able
to respond to PING/iX requests.
The following will appear on the screen indicating
successful DTC automatic configuration:
DTCXXXX.domain.organization automatic configuration in progress.....
(DTC download messages will appear here if you are at the
system console.)
DTCXXXX.domain.organization configured and downloaded successfully.
All ports configured successfully.
END OF PROGRAM
:
If there are SNP cards installed in the DTC, run
NMMGR and modify the configuration for Level 1 and 2 screen and
Level 3 screen.
Modify any other X.25 card configurations as needed
to complete the X.25 and PAD configurations such as PAD ldevs, SYSLUGs
and security.
Validate the configuration.
Invoke DTCCNTRL
to apply the modified X.25 configuration. This can be done at the
prompt that is displayed after validation is complete or later at
the CI prompt as described above for dynamic configuration.
Automatic configuration can also be initiated from within
NMMGR. See the Configuring Systems for Terminals, Printers,
and Other Serial Devices manual for the procedures on
how this is done.

 | NOTE: You can only perform automatic configuration of new
DTCs if you are operating in a host-based management environment.
In a PC-based environment, DTCCNTRL
will report an error when the command is invoked. |
