NCPHELP.HLB  —  CONNECT  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.

1  –  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.

2  –  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.

3  –  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.

4  –  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.
