---+ Host-based DTC management on the HP3000

There are certain features of DTC configuration which could not be accomplished from the host-based configuration interface; perhaps the most popular of these capabilities is the ability to allow a port to "switch" or select different hosts to connect to. (DTCs can connect to HP3000s using AFCP [and other] low level protocols, as well as via telnet to any host that accepts inbound telnet connections.) 

As of MPE/iX 5.5, the host-based configuration facility has been greatly enhanced, making much of the configuration process much easier (and may support switchable ports?)
