I've got the device timeout error after starting up the PCM using LAT
terminal connection on OpenVMS V6.1. I've looked at PCM's terminal server
setup which only shows the terminal server name and port name but no
Ethernet address mapping. I've looked up the installation and user
manuals but seem there is no mention to create the LAT port or NCP T/S
node after the installation. The system is running DECNET Phase IV. Do
I need to create the DECnet node name for T/S node in order that PCM
can obtain the Ethernet address ? If not, then how does PCM connect to
the terminal server using just the terminal server name ? Thanks for
your help in advance.

The line controller daemons call SYS$ASSIGN specifying LTA0: as the
device name. This causes a new LTA device to be created. Then, using
the LAT QIO interface, the LTA device is directed to the server and
port in question. Finally, another QIO is issued to make the connection
between the LTA device and the actual port on the server. After that
it's nothing more than QIO reads and writes from/to the LTA device.
What I recommend that you do is use LATCP to create an LTA device and
direct it to one of your server ports. Then try to SET HOS/DTE to the
LTA device. Once you have gotten SET HOST/DTE to work then PCM will
work. You need to check and make sure the server and ports are named
like you want them, the ports are setup for host-initated connection as
well as the group codes being in sync between the PCM engine and the
terminal server.
