Controls node counters and node, service, and link characteristics.

 Format:

    SET option

Additional information available:

COUNTERSLINKNODEPORTSERVICE

 Allows you to test the performance of your service node over a period
 of  time.   Once  the  counters  for your LAT service node are set to
 zero, you can observe information that accumulates over the  specific
 period by using the LATCP SHOW COUNTERS/NODE command.

 You cannot use this command to set device counters or server counters
 to zero.

 Format:

    SET COUNTERS

Additional information available:

/ZERO

 /ZERO

 Resets your service node counters to zero.

 Changes the Ethernet link characteristics.

 Format:

    SET LINK link-name

 Specifies the name for the Ethernet link.  The link name can have  up
 to  31  ASCII characters.  The link must have been previously created
 with the CREATE LINK command.  Use SHOW CHARACTERISTICS  to  look  at
 all of the links defined for your service node.

Additional information available:

/DECNET/DEVICE/DISABLE/ENABLE/LOG

 /DECNET (D)
 /NODECNET

 Specifies that the  extended  DECnet  address  should  be  used  when
 starting  the  Ethernet  controller.   If /NODECNET is specified, the
 controller's hardware  address  is  used  as  the  device's  physical
 address.   See  the  START NODE /DECNET command for more information.

 /DEVICE=device-name

 Specifies the Ethernet controller device name that you are  assigning
 to  the  Ethernet  link.  You cannot change the controller for a link
 that is active.  Only one Ethernet link can  be  associated  with  an
 Ethernet controller.

 /DISABLE=group-list

 Removes previously enabled groups associated with the link.  When you
 enter  a  group list, enclose the list in parenthesis, and use commas
 (,) to separate individual groups.

 /ENABLE=group-list

 Specifies additional groups that  you  want  enabled  for  the  link.
 There  are 256 groups, numbered from 0 through 255.  When you enter a
 group list, enclose the list in parenthesis, and use  commas  (,)  to
 separate individual groups.

 You can change groups for an active link.

 /LOG   (D)
 /NOLOG

 Specifies whether your link characteristics are displayed  when  this
 command is executed.

 Defines the LAT node characteristics for your service node.

 Any characteristics that you omit are not changed from their previous
 settings.

 Because LATCP commands change characteristics  dynamically,  you  can
 use  SET  NODE prior to the LAT port driver activation or at any time
 when the LAT port driver is active.

 Format:

    SET NODE node-name

Parameters

/DISABLE/ENABLE/IDENTIFICATION/LOG/MULTICAST_TIMER

 node-name

 Specifies the name for your service node.  You can use up  to  16  of
 the following keyboard characters:  A TO Z     a to z  0 to 9  $ - .

 The node name should be the same as the DECnet node name.  The DECnet
 node  name must be unique within the same logical Ethernet as well as
 within the entire DECnet network.  The default is the translation  of
 the logical name SYS$NODE.

 /DISABLE=group-list

 Removes previously enabled groups from your service node.  There  are
 256  groups,  numbered  from  0  through 255.  When you enter a group
 list, enclose the list in parenthesis, and use commas (,) to separate
 individual  groups.   Use the SHOW CHARACTERISTICS command to look at
 the groups that are enabled for your service node.

 /ENABLE=group-list

 Specifies that your service node can  access  the  specified  groups.
 This  list  can consists of up to 256 groups, numbered from 0 through
 255.  When you enter a group list, enclose the list  in  parenthesis,
 and  use  commas  (,)  to separate individual groups.  The default is
 group 0 /ENABLED.

 The groups that you enable with this command  apply  to  all  of  the
 links with no groups enabled on your service node.

 Use the SHOW CHARACTERISTICS command to look at the groups  that  are
 enabled for your service node.

 /IDENTIFICATION="identification-string"

 Specifies a  description  for  your  service  node.   The  string  is
 advertised  to servers in the multicast messages sent by your service
 node.  Enclose the string in quotation marks ("").   The  string  can
 have  up  to  64  ASCII characters and cannot begin with an ampersand
 (&).  Nonprintable characters are translated as spaces.  The  default
 is the translation of the SYS$ANNOUNCE logical name.

 /LOG   (D)
 /NOLOG

 Specifies whether your service  node  characteristics  are  displayed
 when this command is executed.

 /MULTICAST_TIMER=seconds

 Specifies the time, in seconds, between the  multicast  messages  for
 service  announcements.  The minimum value is 10 seconds; the maximum
 value is 255 seconds.  The default is 60 seconds.

 (1) Logically associates (maps)  a  previously  created  applications
 port  on  your service node with a port on a server, or (2) specifies
 that a particular service  on  the  service  node  is  offered  on  a
 dedicated port on that service node.

 Format:

    SET PORT port-name

Additional information available:

Parameters

/APPLICATION/DEDICATED/LINK/LOG/NODE
/PORT/QUEUED/SERVICE

 port-name

 Specifies the name of the applications or  dedicated  port.   Specify
 the  port  name  in the form LTAn:, where n is a unique number from 1
 through 9999.  The port must have been previously created with CREATE
 PORT.

 /APPLICATION

 Specifies that  the  port  on  your  service  node  functions  as  an
 applications  port.   If neither /APPLICATION nor /DEDICATED is given,
 the default is /APPLICATION.

 /DEDICATED

 Maps the dedicated port to a service name for an application program.
 Use /SERVICE with /DEDICATED to specify the service name.  You cannot
 use any of the other qualifiers with /DEDICATED.  The port must  have
 been  created  previously with CREATE PORT /DEDICATED.  When a server
 user requests the  service  name,  that  user  is  connected  to  the
 dedicated port if the application has assigned a channel to the port.

 /LINK=link-name

 Specifies the name of the link  on  which  you  want  the  connection
 to be attempted.  The link that you specify must  have  been  created
 previously with the CREATE LINK command.   Use  SHOW  CHARACTERISTICS
 for a list of the links defined for your node.  If you do not specify
 a link name for an application port, the  connection  to  the  remote
 node will be attempted using the default link LAT$LINK.

 /LOG   (D)
 /NOLOG

 Specifies whether the characteristics of the ports  on  your  service
 node  are  displayed  when  this command is executed.

 /NODE=remote-node-name

 Specifies the name of  the  remote  node  (server)  to  be  logically
 associated with the applications port on your service node.

 To map the applications port you must specify the  applications  port
 name  and  the  remote  node  (server)  name, plus one or both of the
 following:

  o  Server port name (/PORT=remote-port-name)

  o  Remote service name (/SERVICE=service-name)


 You can get these names from the server manager or  with  the  server
 local mode commands.

 /PORT=remote-port-name

 Specifies the name of the port on a server that you want to associate
 (map)  with  the  applications port on your service node.  To map the
 applications port you must specify the applications port name and the
 remote node (server) name, plus one or both of the following:

  o  Server port name (/PORT=remote-port-name)

  o  Remote service name (/SERVICE=service-name)


 You can get these names from the server manager or  with  the  server
 local mode commands.

 /QUEUED   (D)
 /NOQUEUED

 Specifies queued or nonqueued access to the server port.

 A queued or nonqueued request is accepted by the server if the remote
 port  is free.  If the remote port is busy, and queueing is in effect
 for the applications port, and queuing is enabled on the server, then
 a request is queued on the server.

 If you do not want your remote requests to be queued on  the  server,
 specify  /NOQUEUED; however, do not specify /NOQUEUED for a port that
 you want accessed by the LATSYM print symbiont.

 /SERVICE=service-name

 Specifies either (1)the name of the remote  service  offered  at  the
 server  port  that is to be associated with the applications port, or
 (2)the service name for an application program  being  offered  on  a
 dedicated port on your service node.

 To specify the name of the remote service offered at the server port,
 use  the  /NODE and the /SERVICE qualifiers.  To specify a particular
 port for a service, use the /NODE, /PORT,  and  /SERVICE  qualifiers.
 You must get these names from the server manager.

 To name a service for a particular applications program to be offered
 on  a dedicated port on your service node, use the /DEDICATED and the
 /SERVICE qualifiers.  The service must have been  previously  created
 with  the CREATE SERVICE command.  You must use this qualifier if you
 use the /DEDICATED qualifier.

 Dynamically changes service characteristics for your service node.

 Format:

    SET SERVICE service-name

 Specifies the name of the service whose characteristics you  want  to
 change.   The  service  must  have  been  created previously with the
 CREATE SERVICE command.  The default service name is the  translation
 of the SYS$NODE logical name.

Additional information available:

/IDENTIFICATION/LINK/LOG/STATIC_RATING

 /IDENTIFICATION="identification-string"

 Specifies a description for the service.  The string is advertised to
 servers in the multicast messages sent by your service node.  Enclose
 the string in quotation marks ("").  The string can  have  up  to  64
 ASCII   characters   and   cannot   begin   with  an  ampersand  (&).
 Nonprintable characters are translated as spaces.  The default is the
 translation of the SYS$ANNOUNCE logical name.

 /LINK=link-name

 Specifies the name of the link(s)  on  which  you  want  the  service
 offered.   The  link(s)  that  you  specify  must  have  been created
 previously with the CREATE LINK command.   Use  SHOW  CHARACTERISTICS
 for a list of the links defined for your node.  If you do not specify
 a link name for a service, that service is  offered  on  all  of  the
 active Ethernet links.

 You can offer all of your services on all of the links.

 /LOG   (D)
 /NOLOG

 Specifies whether the node characteristics are  displayed  when  this
 command is executed.

 /STATIC_RATING=rating
 /NOSTATIC_RATING     (D)

 Disables dynamic rating and specifies a static rating when  you  omit
 NO.   Disables  static  rating  and  starts  dynamic  rating when you
 include NO.

 The dynamic service rating is usually  adequate  for  efficient  load
 balancing  on  the  LAT  network.   You  can use the static rating to
 direct terminal server users  temporarily  away  from  or  towards  a
 particular node.
