Could this be it?:

See Chapter 3, Article 1: "Enhanced Host-Based DTC Management Functionality"
At the end of the article, in the "More Information" section, an
additional manual is suggested, which you can find here:

I believe you could set a default system. Initially DTC Switching was only available if you configured and downloaded the DTC using OpenView DTC Manager software running on a PC. Later HP set up NMMGR to allow DTC Switching.

The other systems would have the DTC name, but not the MAC. This allowed the system to have printers and other devices accessible on the DTC without concerns about which one downloaded the configuration.
