What probably happened (no way to be sure without the logs): the first
dsmcad process you started began listening to the default port number,
probably 1581. The processes you started after that couldn't use that port,
since it was in use. Then you killed some dsmcad processes, including the
one that was listening on 1581. The dsmcad that you left running was
listening on an unknown (by the TSM server) port.

The TSM server then tried to contact the dsmcad process on its default
port, but on that port nothing was listening so communication failed.
