Chapter 3 63
Configuring DTCs Step-by-Step
Modify the Network Management Configuration File
For direct terminals ports, the suggested profile to use is TR10D96.
For direct printer ports, the suggested profile to use is PR18D96 (or
PR22D24 for HP printers with status checking). For a UPS connected
to a DTC port, the suggested profile is UP10D12.
See the Tables in Chapter 4, “Terminal and Printer Profiles,” to list
terminal, printer and UPS profiles supplied by the system. You may
also create your own profiles. Refer to Chapter 4, “Terminal and
Printer Profiles,” for more information on profiles.
5. Repeat above two steps for every port in this card.
NOTE To reduce typing ldev numbers and profiles on the screen, you can use
the
[Fill Card] key to automatically assign ldev numbers and profile
names. First, enter an ldev number (and profile name if you do not wish
to use the default profile name) for port 0, then press
[Fill Card]; the
system will automatically assign incremental ldev numbers to each
subsequent port on the screen and copy the specified profile for each
port. The system will automatically save the data it has entered.
The
[Clear Display] key on your keyboard will clear the part of your
screen that is below the cursor position. You may use this key and the
[Fill Card] key to quickly modify a screen.
6. Press the
[Save Data] function key to save the data on the screen.
CAUTION Before you exit this screen, make sure you press [Save Data] if you want
to keep the data on the screen; otherwise your screen input will be lost.
This occurs even if you temporarily exit the screen to read
[Help]
information.
7. To configure another card in the DTC, use the cursor keys to move to
the field on the screen: “To configure a different card,
enter its number,...”. Enter the card number of the card you
want to configure.
8. Press the
[Config Card] function key. The corresponding screen for
the card number entered in the last step will be displayed.
9. If all the cards have been configured, press the [Prior Screen] function
key to return to the DTC Configuration Selection screen to select
another DTC to configure. Otherwise, if every DTC has been
configured, press the
[Validate DTS/LINK] function key to validate the
configuration file.
NOTE NMMGR allows the configuration of up to 4649 terminal I/O devices.
The largest valid ldev number allowed is 4679.
