Start the LAT protocol software.

 FORMAT:
  START
        /GROUPS=(group1,group2,...groupn)
        /MULTICAST_TIMER=seconds
        /NODE=(option[,option])
                NAME=node-name
                IDENTIFICATION=announcement-string
        /SERVICE=(option[,option])
                NAME=node-name
                IDENTIFICATION=announcement-string
        /[NO]LOG

Additional information available:

/GROUPS/MULTICAST_TIMER/NODE/SERVICE/LOG/NOLOG

 This qualifer allows the user to specify the groups to which
 the VMS LAT host node is member. There are 256 groups, numbered
 0 to 255 in decimal. The default is group code zero (0) enabled.

 EXAMPLE:
  START /GROUPS=(0,1,9)

 This will put the VMS LAT host as a member in groups 0, 1 and 9.

 This qualifier allows the user to specify how many seconds
 should elapse between transmission of the VMS LAT host node
 configuration message. The default value is 20 seconds, and the
 range is 10 to 255 seconds.

 EXAMPLE:
  START /MULTICAST_TIMER=10

 This will cause the VMS LAT host software to generate a node
 configuration message every 10 seconds.

 This qualifier allows the user to specify NAME and IDENTIFICATION
 information about the VMS LAT host. The NAME will be available as
 a service to users at LAT servers. The NAME keyword is defaulted to
 the translation of the logical name SYS$NODE (which is set by DECnet).
 The NAME is the node-name for this VMS LAT host and should be unique
 from all other nodes on the same Ethernet.

 The IDENTIFICATION keyword defines the announce string or other information
 relating to the node-name. The IDENTIFICATION keyword defaults to the
 translation of the logical name SYS$ANNOUNCE.

 EXAMPLES:
  START /NODE=NAME=VMSLAT
  START /NODE=IDENTIFICATION="VMS LAT test system"
  START /NODE=(NAME=VMSLAT,IDENTIFICATION="VMS LAT test system")

 This qualifier allows the user to specify one additional service
 NAME which this VMS LAT node offers. The SERVICE qualifier takes the
 same format as the NODE qualifier. The service-NAME will be available as
 a service to users at LAT servers. The NAME keyword is defaulted to
 the translation of the logical name SYS$SERVICE_NAME. It is assumed that
 this same service is available on other nodes on the same Ethernet.

 The IDENTIFICATION keyword defines the announce string or other information
 relating to the service-name.

 EXAMPLES:
  START /SERVICE=NAME=VMSLAT
  START /SERVICE=IDENTIFICATION="VMS LAT test system"
  START /SERVICE=(NAME=VMSLAT,IDENTIFICATION="VMS LAT test system")

 This qualifier enables the logging of informational text. The
 default is /LOG to enable displaying of information text.

 EXAMPLE:
  START /LOG

 This qualifier disables logging of informational text. The
 default is /LOG to enable displaying of information text.

 EXAMPLE:
  START /NOLOG
