[HECnet] LATCP confusion

[Sampsa Laine]

Cool, that worked.

But I'm still stuck :)

What I'm trying to do is to attach a PPP service to this port, and then be able to connect to that from my DECserver. I've set up the PPP service:

TCPIP SET INTERFACE PP1 /SERIAL_DEVICE=LTA777: /HOST=192.168.77.246 -
/NETWORK_MASK=255.255.255.0 /DESTINATION=192.168.77.151 /COMPRESS=AUTO

But doing a SET HOST/LAT CHIMPYNET does not work - any ideas where I'm going wrong?

Some output:

CHIMPYSYS$ lcp show service chimpynet

Service Name:         CHIMPYNET                               Service Type:   Application

CHIMPYSYS$ lcp show port lta777

Guys,
I'm trying to set up an incoming LAT service on CHIMPY called SAMPSACOM, i.e. I want to be able to connect to a service called SAMPSACOM over LAT and this connection is then routed to port LTA101: - I will have an app on CHIMPY that waits for connections on LTA101.
I've done this:
lcp:==mcr latcp
lcp create port lta101: /dedicated
lcp set port lta101: /dedicated /service=sampsacom
Now what? If I try to connect to the port (via set host/dte) I get an error:
%REM-E-PORTRXERR, port receive error
-SYSTEM-F-HANGUP, data set hang-up
It doesn't show up in SHOW SERVICES and SHOW PORTS says it's inactive:
$lcp show ports *
[....]
    _LTA101:     Dedicated       Inactive             //SAMPSACOM
Any help on how to proceed would be most welcome.

First you should create the service
$ MC LATCP CREA SERVI /APPL

Then create the port

$ MC LATCP CREA PORT /DEDI

And then associate the port with your service

$ MC LATCP SET PORT /DEDI /SERVI

Then start your application which listens to the LAT port.
