VMS Help SET, HOST, /LAT, Qualifiers  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

1 - /AUTOCONNECT

       /AUTOCONNECT
       /NOAUTOCONNECT

    Specifies whether connection attempts should be retried
    automatically when a connection fails because a service is
    unknown or unavailable, or because a node is unknown or
    unreachable. Also specifies that reconnects should be attempted
    automatically if a service has disconnected abnormally. The
    default is /NOAUTOCONNECT.

2 - /AUTOPROMPT

       /AUTOPROMPT (default)
       /NOAUTOPROMPT

    Causes an OpenVMS Username: prompt to appear with no user action
    when a SET HOST/LAT command is issued.

    On a terminal server port, you can configure the port to have
    AUTOPROMPT disabled (/NOAUTOPROMPT) so that you are required
    to press Return when connecting to a node to get the Username:
    prompt; however, when connecting to a reverse LAT service, the
    AUTOPROMPT characteristic should be disabled.

3 - /BREAK

       /BREAK=break-character

    Defines a character that generates a break on lines that expect a
    break rather than a carriage return. To generate a break, press
    the Ctrl and break-character keys together. The default break-
    character value is the tilde (~).

    You can select any ASCII character between @ and Z, except C, M,
    Q, S, Y, and the left bracket ([).  You cannot select a character
    that is already defined as the disconnect character.

4 - /DESTINATION_PORT

       /DESTINATION_PORT=port-name

    Specifies the port on a node to which you want to connect. The
    /NODE qualifier is required when you specify the /DESTINATION_
    PORT qualifier. The port must be available and must offer the
    service you specify. OpenVMS and certain other LAT service node
    systems ignore the /DESTINATION_PORT qualifier.

5 - /DIAL

       /DIAL=(NUMBER:number[,MODEM_TYPE:modem-type])

    Allows a modem attached to the outgoing terminal line to be
    autodialed using the autodial protocol of that modem. The
    NUMBER keyword is the telephone number to be autodialed and is
    a required parameter.

    The MODEM_TYPE keyword is optional. It can be used to specify any
    of the following modem types:

    o  DMCL (any modem that uses the DEC Modem Command Language)

    o  DF03 (default)

    o  DF112

    Each modem type requires a specific modem dialer code. Check with
    your system manager to see which modem dialer codes are installed
    on your system.

    In addition, the MODEM_TYPE keyword can be used to specify
    a modem type other than DF03, DF112, or DMCL. A template is
    provided for users interested in supporting other modems with
    autodial capabilities (see SYS$EXAMPLES:DTE_DF03.MAR).

6 - /DISCONNECT

       /DISCONNECT=disconnect-character

    Defines the character that you can use to disconnect from a
    remote session. To generate a disconnect, press the Ctrl and
    disconnect-character keys together. The default disconnect-
    character is the backslash (\).

    You can select any ASCII character from @ through Z, except C, M,
    Q, S, Y, and the left bracket ([). For example, if you specify
    /DISCONNECT=A, Ctrl/A will be the disconnect character. You
    cannot select a character that is already defined as the break
    character.

7 - /EIGHT_BIT

       /EIGHT_BIT (default)
       /NOEIGHT_BIT

    Determines whether the outgoing terminal line supports 8-bit or
    7-bit characters. By default, 8-bit characters are supported. If
    you specify /NOEIGHT_BIT, then 7-bit characters are supported.

                                   NOTE

       To change the number of bits per character on the remote
       terminal server port, that port must have the REMOTE
       MODIFICATION characteristic enabled.

8 - /FRAME

       /FRAME=n

    The /FRAME=n qualifier allows a user making a LAT connection
    to a remote system to specify the number of data bits that
    the terminal driver expects for every character that is input
    or output. The value of n can be from 5 to 8. The default
    value depends on the settings for the terminal established by
    the /PARITY and /EIGHT_BIT qualifiers. The following example
    specifies a character frame size of 7 bits per character:

    $ SET HOST/LAT /FRAME=7 DIAL_OUT_SVC

9 - /LOG

       /LOG[=log-file]

    Logs all data that is delivered during the LAT session. If you do
    not specify a log file, the data is stored in the file SETHOST_
    LAT.LOG.

10 - /NODE

       /NODE=node-name

    Specifies the node that offers the service to which you want to
    connect. The node you specify must be a remote node. Failover is
    not performed if the connection fails.

11 - /PASSWORD

       /PASSWORD=password

    Specifies the password required by a service that is password
    protected. If you do not specify the /PASSWORD qualifier when
    requesting a connection to a password-protected service, you are
    prompted for a password.

12 - /QUEUE

       /QUEUE
       /NOQUEUE (default)

    When connecting to a reverse LAT service that is already in use
    (such as a dial out modem), you are notified that the service
    is in use and the SET HOST/LAT command terminates. However, LAT
    can allow incoming connections to be queued to any reverse LAT
    service that supports service queueing, which enables users to be
    placed on a queue when using reverse LAT services.

    LAT reports your position in the queue. When the resource becomes
    available, you are immediately notified. You can cancel the
    queued connection by pressing Ctrl/Y and terminating the SET
    HOST /LAT command.

13 - /SPEED

       /SPEED=(output-rate,input-rate)

    Sets the baud rate at which the terminal receives and transmits
    data. If the input and output rates are the same, specify the
    qualifier as /SPEED=rate.

    Not all terminals support different input and output baud rates.
    For specific information on baud rates for your terminal, consult
    the manual for that terminal.

    The default transmission rates are installation dependent.

    The valid values for input and output baud rates are as follows:

    300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600

    If you select an invalid or unsupported speed, the terminal line
    speed will remain set at its previous value.

                                   NOTE

       To change the speed on the terminal server port, the REMOTE
       MODIFICATION characteristic must be enabled on that terminal
       server port.

       When initiating a connection, SET HOST/LAT may attempt
       to set terminal server port characteristics, such as the
       speed and the default speed for a LAT device. If the device
       connected to the terminal server port has a fixed speed
       (such as a dial-out modem) and you do not want the host
       to try to change this, disable the REMOTE MODIFICATION
       characteristic on that port using the following command:

       Local> DEFINE PORT x REMOTE MODIFICATION DISABLE
       Local> LOGOUT PORT x

       Use the following command for terminal servers that support
       the CHANGE command:

       Local> CHANGE PORT x REMOTE MODIFICATION DISABLE
