Operation 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 of this manual, or the Configuring Systems for Terminals, Printers, and other Serial Devices manual (32022-61000). 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 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 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 for more information on obtaining status using DTCCNTRL.
