/SERVICE_RESPONDER /NOSERVICE_RESPONDER Specifies whether your system responds to special LAT multicast messages that request service information. Some terminal servers do not have their own service and node database. When a user on such a terminal server requests a connection to a service, the server sends a LAT multicast message requesting names of nodes that offer the requested service. Service responder nodes reply with the requested information. If you specify /SERVICE_RESPONDER, your system responds to the special LAT multicast messages. (If you specify /NOSERVICE_ RESPONDER, your system does not respond to those messages.) Digital recommends that you set up only one or two nodes in the LAN as service responder nodes. The nodes should have the largest databases in the LAN. Use this option only if your node allows outgoing connections (/CONNECTIONS=OUTGOING_ONLY or /CONNECTIONS=BOTH). If you do not specify either the /SERVICE_RESPONDER or /NOSERVICE_RESPONDER qualifier, the default is that your system will not respond to the special LAT multicast messages.
