DCE Cell Tab

The DCE Cell tab on the PC-DCE Configuration panel is used to define DCE cell attributes. This tab is available only if you have installed the PC-DCE server kit. It is not available if you have installed the PC-DCE Client kit.

The DCE Cell tab includes the following fields and options.

Cell Name field — Lists the name of the cell of which this system is a member. Client systems display the cell name with the syntax /.../cell_name. Cell servers display the cell name with the syntax cell_name.

Cell Administrator Principal and Password fields — For cell configuration changes, you are required to provide administrator credentials.

Distributed Time Service checkbox — Enables or disables the cell's use of the distributed time service daemon (dtsd). dtsd is an option for full client configurations as well as servers.

LAN Profile Name field — Lists the LAN profile in which the DTS daemon on your system looks for the network locations of DTS servers. The default LAN profile entry is /.:/lan-profile. This information is used only when the Distributed Time Service checkbox is enabled.

Local Time Server, Global Time Server, and Time Service Client radio buttons — Shows the time service currently in use. Active only when the Distributed Time Service checkbox is enabled. For more information about Time Server options see Configuring Additional DCE Servers.
