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.
