LATCP SET — MicroVMS 4.6

  Set or modify parameters for the LAT protocol software.

  Format:

    SET option

Additional information available:

COUNTERSNODEPORTSERVICE

COUNTERS

  Use to test the performance of the system over a period of time, by
  resetting the counters to zero with the SET COUNTERS/ZERO command and
  observing the information that accumulates during the period.

  Format:

    SET COUNTERS

Additional information available:

Additional information available:

/ZERO

/ZERO

 /ZERO  (D)

  Specifies that the counters are to be reset to zero.
  This is currently the default for the SET COUNTERS
  command.


NODE

  Allows you to specify:

      o  Node name and identification

      o  Group codes

      o  Timing of configuration mesages

  Because LATCP changes information dynamically, you
  may issue it prior to LTDRIVER activation or at any
  time when the LTDRIVER is active.

  Format:

  SET NODE [node_name]

Additional information available:

Parameters

/ENABLE/DISABLE/IDENTIFICATION/MULTICAST_TIMER/LOG

Parameters

  node_name

  Specifies the name assigned to the node by the LAT
  node manager. Node names allow a LAT node to be known
  by more than just a physical network address.
  The default is the translation of the logical name
  SYS$NODE. This name must be unique to the LAN.
  The name can be no more than 16 characters in length,
  and can only include the characters 0-9, a-z, A-Z,
  underscore (_), and dollar sign ($). Enclose the
  name in quotes (") if the name has lowercase characters.


/ENABLE=(group1,group2,...groupn)

 /ENABLE=(group1,group2,...groupn)

 Sets the groups to which the node belongs. There
 are 256 groups, numbered from 0 to 255 in decimal.

/DISABLE=(group1,group2,...groupn)

 /DISABLE=(group1,group2,...groupn)

 Clears the groups formerly associated with the node.
 There are 256 groups, numbered from 0 to 255 in
 decimal.

/IDENTIFICATION="identification_string"

 /IDENTIFICATION="identification_string"

 Specifies the identification string associated with the
 node name. The string, up to 64 characters in length,
 may not contain a leading ampersand. Nonprintable characters
 are translated to spaces. The string must be placed in
 quotation marks ("). If no string is specified the string
 defaults to the translation of the logical name SYS$ANNOUNCE.


/MULTICAST_TIMER=seconds

 /MULTICAST_TIMER=seconds

 Specifies, in seconds, the interval at which the
 VAX/VMS LAT node generates a configuration message.
 Minimum value is 10 seconds, maximum 255 seconds.
 The default value is 60.

/LOG

 /LOG   (D)
 /NOLOG

 Specifies whether the SET NODE command displays
 the node and service parameters. The default is /LOG.


PORT

 Initializes a local port for use as an application terminal
 port. An application  terminal port is created by using the
 CREATE PORT command.

 Format:

   SET PORT [local_node_name]

 The SET PORT command must contain one of the following
 combinations of qualifiers:

      o /NODE=remote_node_name /PORT=remote_port_name

      o /NODE=remote_node_name /SERVICE=remote_service_name

      o /NODE=remote_node_name /PORT=remote_port_name
        /SERVICE=remote_service_name

Additional information available:

Parameters

/APPLICATION/NODE/LOG/PORT/QUEUED/SERVICE

Parameters

 local_port_name

  Specifies the name of the port to be modified.
  Local_port_name must be of the form LTAn:, where n
  is the unit number. The port must have been created
  using the CREATE PORT command.

/APPLICATION

 /APPLICATION   (D)

 Specifies that the port will be used as a local
 application terminal port. This is currently the
 default for all SET PORT commands.

/NODE=remote_node_name

 /NODE=remote_node_name

 Specifies the name of the remote node (eg, terminal server)
 that contains the device to be logically bound to the
 specified local port. The name can be no more than 16
 characters in length, and can only include the characters
 0-9, a-z, A-Z, underscore (_), and dollar sign ($). Enclose
 the name in quotes (") if the name has lowercase characters.


/LOG

 /LOG   (D)
 /NOLOG

 Specifies whether the SET PORT command displays the
 qualifier value(s) set by the command. The default is /LOG.

/PORT=remote_port_name

 /PORT=remote_port_name

 Specifies the name of the remote port (eg, terminal server port)
 that is logically bound to the specified local port. Enclose
 the name in quotes (") if the name has lowercase characters.

/QUEUED

 /QUEUED   (D)
 /NOQUEUED

 Specifies the type of access which is being requested for
 the remote port. This characteristic is used when connections
 are initiated to the remote port. The default is queued access.

/SERVICE=remote_service_name

 /SERVICE=remote_service_name

 Specifies the name of the remote service (eg, terminal server
 port or set of ports) that is logically bound to the specified
 local port. Enclose the name in quotes (") if the name has
 lowercase characters.



SERVICE

 Modifies the characteristics of a service created with the
 SET SERVICE command. If no service name is specified, the
 name determined by translating the logical name SYS$NODE
 is used.

 Format:

   SET SERVICE [service_name]

Additional information available:

Parameters

/IDENTIFICATION/LOG/STATIC_RATING

Parameters

 service_name

  Specifies the name of the service whose characteristics are
  to be changed with this command. The name can be no more than
  16 characters in length, and can only include the characters
  0-9, a-z, A-Z, underscore (_), and dollar sign ($). Enclose
  the name in quotes (") if the name has lowercase characters.



/IDENTIFICATION="identification_string"

 /IDENTIFICATION="identification_string"

 Specifies the identification string associated with the
 service name. The string, up to 64 characters in length,
 may not contain a leading ampersand. Nonprintable characters
 are translated to spaces. The string must be placed in
 quotation marks ("). If no string is specified the string
 defaults to the translation of the logical name SYS$ANNOUNCE.


/LOG

 /LOG   (D)
 /NOLOG

 Specifies whether the SET SERVICE command displays
 the node and service parameters. The default is /LOG.

/STATIC_RATING=static_rating

 /STATIC_RATING=static_rating
 /NOSTATIC_RATING

 Specifies a service rating value and disables automatic
 rating generation by the LTDRIVER. The specified rating
 will be used as the service rating. To enable automatic
 service rating generation, issue the /NOSTATIC_RATING
 qualifier.
