Problem with configuration of DTC's port

[Andrzej Stępień]

Hello,

I am running dtcmgr on an K400 10.20 OS. I'd like to configure port parameter "Terminal/Printer Name or IP Address" of DTC16TN and DTC72MX using command dtcmodifyconfs. I need to assign IP address to this parameter.
I am trying commands:
dtcmodifyconfs -m -e 'Terminal/Printer Name or IP Address = "10.6.100.10";' dtc board port
or
dtcmodifyconfs -m -e 'Terminal/Printer Name or IP Address = "010.006.100.010";' dtc board port

and it returns witch:
<<10801>> MESSAGE Terminal/Printer Name or IP Address has incorrect syntax.

I tried 2 versions of DTC Manager/UX:
J2120B A.14.4A.020
A.14.4C.020

Try this...

dtcmodifyconfs -m -e 'Default Destination = "010.006.100.010"

Rgds,

You are doing exactly what the book says so something is wrong. A.14.4C.020
should be the one to use since there was a big in dtcmodifyconfs in the A version.

Have you tried removing the spaces around the equal sign? I noticed the book sometimes has problems with spaces. An editor might have gotten to it and prettied it up.

How about trying to modify another parameter on the same DTC/board/port just to see if that fails too? Or maybe trying to give it a name instead of an IP address?

Have you tried putting the assignment into a file a referencing the file?

example-
dtcmodifyconfs -m -f dtccmdfile dtc b 1

and file dtccmdfile has-
Terminal/Printer Name or IP Address = "010.006.100.010";

Otherwise it looks like you are doing everything right.
