In order to use the DAS for OMNI software OSI transport templates need to be provided for MMS, S7, AP and H1 connections. To configure OSI transport templates use the command procedure @SYS$STARTUP:NET$CONFIGURE.COM ADVANCED. Select Configure Transports from the menu selection and follow the instructions for configuring the templates. For Sinec S7, Sinec AP and Sinec H1, a NULL_INTERNET template must be configured. For MMS, an INTERNET template is configured. For details on configuring templates, see DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS Installation and Configuration.
For Sinec-S7 over TCP/IP an RFC-1006 template is configured. In addition running OSI Applications over TCP/IP must be enabled using @SYS$STARTUP:NET$CONFIGURE.COM ADVANCED and the PWIP driver must be configured using @SYS$STARTUP:UCX$CONFIG.COM. For details on configuring UCX (TCP/IP), see TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Installation and Configuration.
The following is an example of an NCL configuration script showing creation of transport templates for MMS, S7, AP and H1 protocols.
CREATE NODE 0 OSI TRANSPORT TEMPLATE OMNINET
SET NODE 0 OSI TRANSPORT TEMPLATE OMNINET NETWORK SERVICE CLNS, -

S7 devices also support OSI communications over TCP/IP using RFC-1006. The following is an example of an NCL configuration script showing creation of an RFC-1006 transport template for the S7 protocol.
CREATE NODE 0 OSI TRANSPORT TEMPLATE S7NET
SET NODE 0 OSI TRANSPORT TEMPLATE S7NET NETWORK SERVICE RFC1006, -
CLASSES {0,2}, -
EXPEDITED DATA TRUE, -
CHECKSUMS FALSE, -
INBOUND TRUE, -
RFC1006 PORT NUMBER 102, -
LOOPBACK FALSE
ADD NODE 0 OSI TRANSPORT RFC1006 LISTENER PORT {102}

Table 2-6 gives a list of recommended OSI transport template parameters. Table 2-7 gives a list of OSI transport parameters that may need to be modified for your intallation. These parameters are explained in detail in the DECnet-Plus documentation. Some are inter-dependent so that modifying one parameter may require changing other ones also.
| Parameter | Recommended Value1 |
|---|---|
| Keepalive Time | 3 2 |
| Retransmit Threshold | 2 2 |
| CR Timeout | 5 |
| ER Timeout | 5 |
| Parameter | |
|---|---|
| Maximum Transport Connections | |
| Maximum Remote NSAPs |
Other timers in the transport template may need to be modified depending on your specific hardware and network configuration.
To modify transport template values place an NCL script in SYS$COMMON:[SYSMGR] and execute it from your system startup command file. Use the following syntax to execute an NCL script.
$RUN SYS$SYSTEM:NCL @SYS$MANAGER:CUSTOM_NCL_SCRIPT.NCL |
