DTC LAN Address
Look for the DTC LAN address on your DTC and enter this value. Ensure that you
enter this address exactly as it is marked on the DTC. If you enter an incorrect DTC
LAN address, the DTC will not operate.
Hewlett-Packard has assigned each DTC a unique DTC LAN address which is
indicated on an address label as follows:
DTC 16TN—on the back panel near the port connections
DTC 16—on the back panel in the upper right corner
DTC 48—inside the front panel
DTC 72MX—on the back panel on the LAN board
When a DTC is first added, the DTC LAN address field in the Add DTC
Configuration screen indicates 00-00-00. Replace this with your DTC LAN
address. The format of the LAN address is usually 08-00-09-xx-xx-xx
or 00-60-B0-xx-xx-xx where xx is a hexadecimal number.
Note When configuring a DTC for connection to your HP 9000 system, the IEEE 802.3
protocol is used on the LAN connection. However, for communication between the
terminal and the system, the Ethernet protocol is used. Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 LAN
protocols are similar, and can coexist on the same physical LAN, using the same
physical address configured in the DTC LAN Address field. The address you define
here will also be used as the Ethernet address for the DTC.
DTC IP Address
Enter a value in the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where xxx is a decimal number from 0
through 255. The address cannot be 0.0.0.0 or 255.255.255.255 which are reserved
addresses. Assign a unique IP address to each DTC.
If you use a DNS server, you must first add each DTCs IP address and, secondly,
configure the DTC for DNS.
Note In the "Add DTC Configuration" screen, you must enter a value for DTC IP address
even if you do not use the DNS server.
Each DTCs IP address must also be added to your name database, for example the
/etc/hosts
is documented in the manual, Installing and Administering LAN/9000 Software.
This parameter is the IP address of the DTC itself. Do not confuse it with the IP
address of the host system, or with the IP address of a port.
