First things first, you should not buy a NCD 16 but rather buy the a GIPSI LetX
that my company happens to manufacture and sell :-) :-)

Now the solution to your problem is:

SET DISPLAY/CREATE/TRANSPORT=xxxxx/NODE=[terminal name on your network]

xxxxxx = DECNET or TCPIP or TCPWARE (very good stuff from Process Software)

[terminal name on your network] = if (xxxxx == tcpip/tcpware )
					The hostname of your terminal in the
					/etc/hosts file or its internet address
					such as: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
				  else
					I don't know the syntax on decnet
				  endif
