DECnet NCP CONNECT — VMS 5.5-2H4

Use the CONNECT command to enable a local terminal to act as the
console for a remote system.

Additional information available:

NODEVIA

NODE

Use the CONNECT NODE command to set up a logical connection between
the host node and the console interface on a specified target node.
Both the host node and the target node must be on the same broadcast
circuit.

Use the SET NODE command to initially specify the default
values for the SERVICE CIRCUIT, SERVICE PASSWORD, and HARDWARE ADDRESS
parameters for the target node.  Once set, you can override these
default parameters for the target node by specifying new parameters in
the CONNECT command.

CONNECT NODE node-id    (parameters ...)

All underscores found in parameters must be replaced with spaces
when parameters are used in NCP commands.

Examples

PHYSICAL ADDRESS

Specifies the physical address of the target node.  This parameter is
required.  The value is the physical address the target node has set
for itself or, if the target has not set a physical address, the
HARDWARE ADDRESS parameter associated with the target node in the
executor node's volatile database.  The address is a string of 12
hexadecimal digits represented by 6 bytes separated by hyphens.

VIA

Specifies the circuit to be used to create the logical link between
the host node and the target node.  This circuit must be a broadcast
circuit.

SERVICE PASSWORD

Identifies the password required to create the logical link between
the host node and the target node.  The password is a hexadecimal
number in the range 0 to FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.

Examples

     NCP>CONNECT NODE RTRDEV SERVICE PASSWORD FEFEFEFEFEFEFEFE -
     _ VIA UNA-0 PHYSICAL ADDRESS AA-00-04-00-38-00

         This command connects the host node to the console interface
         on the target node RTRDEV specifying the service password
         FEFEFEFEFEFEFEFE, the service circuit UNA-0, and the
         physical address AA-00-04-00-38-00.

VIA

Use the CONNECT VIA command to set up a logical connection between
the host node and the console interface on a target node using the
specified circuit.  Use the CONNECT VIA command instead of the CONNECT
NODE command if the node address of the target node is not known.  Both
the host node and the target node must be on the same broadcast circuit.

CONNECT  VIA circuit-id   (parameters ...)

All underscores found in parameters must be replaced with spaces
when parameters are used in NCP commands.

Examples

     NCP>CONNECT VIA UNA-0 PHYSICAL ADDRESS AA-00-04-00-38-00

         This command connects the host node to the console interface
         on the target node  by specifying the circuit over which the
         connection is to be made and the physical address of the
         target node.

PHYSICAL ADDRESS

Specifies the physical address of the target node.  This parameter is
required.  The value is the physical address the target node has set
for itself.

SERVICE PASSWORD

Identifies the password required to create the logical link between
the host node and the target node.  The password is a hexadecimal
number in the range 0 to FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.
