LATCP SET — MicroVMS 4.6
Set or modify parameters for the LAT protocol software.
Format:
SET option
Additional information available:
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:
Command Qualifiers
Additional information available:
/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:
/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$ANNOUNCE.
/MULTICAST_TIMER=seconds
/MULTICAST_TIMER=seconds Specifies, in seconds, the interval at which the VAX/VMS LAT node generates a configuration message. Minimum value is 10 seconds, maximum 255 seconds. The default value is 60.
/LOG
/LOG (D) /NOLOG Specifies whether the SET NODE command displays the node and service parameters. The default is /LOG.
PORT
Initializes a local port for use as an application terminal
port. An application terminal port is created by using the
CREATE PORT command.
Format:
SET PORT [local_node_name]
The SET PORT command must contain one of the following
combinations of qualifiers:
o /NODE=remote_node_name /PORT=remote_port_name
o /NODE=remote_node_name /SERVICE=remote_service_name
o /NODE=remote_node_name /PORT=remote_port_name
/SERVICE=remote_service_name
Additional information available:
/APPLICATION/NODE/LOG/PORT/QUEUED/SERVICE
Parameters
local_port_name Specifies the name of the port to be modified. Local_port_name must be of the form LTAn:, where n is the unit number. The port must have been created using the CREATE PORT command.
/APPLICATION
/APPLICATION (D) Specifies that the port will be used as a local application terminal port. This is currently the default for all SET PORT commands.
/NODE=remote_node_name
/NODE=remote_node_name
Specifies the name of the remote node (eg, terminal server)
that contains the device to be logically bound to the
specified local port. The name can be no more than 16
characters in length, and can only include the characters
0-9, a-z, A-Z, underscore (_), and dollar sign ($). 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$NODE is used. Format: SET SERVICE [service_name]
Additional information available:
/IDENTIFICATION/LOG/STATIC_RATING
Parameters
service_name
Specifies the name of the service whose characteristics are
to be changed with this command. The name can be no more than
16 characters in length, and can only include the characters
0-9, a-z, A-Z, underscore (_), and dollar sign ($). 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.
