  The terse DECserver location dept 
 The Question is:
 
How do I locate DECservers 90L+ using OpenVMS V7.2-1?
 
 The Answer is :
 
  You can use the MOP SysId mechanism available within MOP-compliant
  devices and that can be monitored with a network scope or with DECnet
  to locate the periodic MOP system identification device messages (see
  the DECnet Configurator details), or -- if you know the physical location
  of the device, you can use the DECserver console to locate the device
  network address and use this and your knowledge of the LAN segment
  (service circuit) involved to connect (with LANCP MOP or DECnet MOP)
  from an OpenVMS host out to the DECserver remote console.
 
  The DECnet Configurator listens for these periodic MOP SysId multicast
  messages for several multiples of the broadcast frequency of the SysId
  messages -- total run-times of a half hour or more are the norm, with
  most MOP SysId messages typically being broadcast once every ten to
  fifteen minutes or so -- and provides listings of information gleaned
  from the MOP SysId messages that have been received.
 
  For details and documentation for the DECserver series devices, please
  contact the third-party product vendor, Digital Network Products Group.
 
  For details of LANCP syntax, please see the LANCP documentation.
 
  For details of setting up LAT on OpenVMS, please see the system management
  documentation and the LAT$STARTUP.COM and particularly LAT$SYSTARTUP.COM
  command procedures.
 
  For details on setting up IP for telnet or lpr/lpd access, please see
  the TCP/IP Services documentation or the documentation for the particular
  IP stack in use on your OpenVMS system.
 
  For information on the commands necessary to connect from the OpenVMS
  host out to the DECserver device via MOP, please see the OpenVMS LANCP
  utility documentation (on OpenVMS V6.2 and later), the DECnet Phase IV
  NCP documentation, or the DECnet-Plus NCL-related documentation materials.
 
  For existing discussions of MOP, please see topics here in Ask The Wizard
