- DTC Name
A name for the DTC, up to eight alphanumeric characters,
beginning with a letter. Each DTC configured on the system must
have a unique name.
- DTC LAN Station Address
The local station address of the DT C. The HP 2345B
(DTC 48) station address is printed inside the front cover. The
HP 2340A (DTC 16) station address is printed on the label located
on the upper right-hand corner of the back panel of the DTC. The
HP J2070A (DTC 72MX) and J2062A/J2063A/J2064A (DTC 16iX/16MX/16RX)
station address is printed on the label located at the lower center
of the back panel of the DTC.
A typical LAN address looks like: 08-00-09-1A-11-11.
For DTC 16RX access to an HP 3000 in an MPE/iX host-based
management environment, use the value 00-00-00-00-00-00
as the DTC 16RX LAN address. Configuration of the DTC 16RX
is done on the HP 9000 host using DTC 16RX Manager.
- DTC Node Name
A fully qualified node name of the DTC, in the form
nodename.domain.organization, where each field
can contain 16 or fewer characters (alphanumeric, underscores, or
hyphens). The first character of each field must be alphabetic.
Assign meaningful node names. For example, ACCTS.IXNET.ACCTG
and PAY.IXNET.ACCTG
are meaningful names for two nodes on the same Local Area Network
(LAN) within the accounting department. One node (ACCTS.IXNET.ACCTG)
is used by the accounts staff. The other node (PAY.IXNET.ACCTG)
is used by the payables staff. The domain
field is the same because the nodes belong to the same network.
The organization field is the same because
the nodes belong to the same internetwork.
- DTC IP Address (optional)
The internet protocol (IP) address of the DTC. The
IP address is optional. It 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.
An IP address is made up of a network portion and a node portion.
The address is formed as four fields of decimal numbers where each
number is a value ranging from 000 to 255.
The following shows examples of three classes of IP addresses:
where nnn
represents the network portion and xxx
represents the node portion of the address. The class of the IP
address is determined by the value of the left most group of nnn
and has the following ranges:
Network and node portions of all zeroes or 255 are not allowed
for DTC addresses. These are special values. All devices configured
with the same network portion are considered to be on the same network.
The node portion must be unique for all nodes on a network.
You can obtain a Class B or Class C IP address from:
Government Systems, Inc. |
Attn: Network Information Center |
7990 Boeing Ct. |
Vienna, VA 22183 |
(800) 364-3642 or FAX: (703) 821-6161 |
|
For DTC 16RX access to an HP 3000 in an MPE/iX host-based
management environment, the IP address of the DTC 16RX
is configured using the DTC 16RX Manager on the HP 9000
host and not on the HP 3000. Any value entered for the DTC 16RX
in NMMGR will be ignored.
