NCPHELP.HLB  —  TRIGGER  VIA
 Use the TRIGGER VIA command to trigger the bootstrap  mechanism  of  a
 target  node such that the node will load itself.  Use this command to
 initiate the loading sequence for  an  unattended  system.

 This command triggers the target node via the specified circuit.   The
 target  node identification is obtained from the volatile database on
 the executor node.

 TRIGGER VIA circuit-id     SERVICE PASSWORD hex-password
                            PHYSICAL ADDRESS address

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

1  –  SERVICE PASSWORD hex-password

 Identifies the password required to trigger the bootstrap
 mechanism on the target node.

2  –  PHYSICAL ADDRESS

 Applies only to nodes on broadcast circuits.  Specifies the physical
 address that the target node currently use to identify itself.
 The value is the physical address the target node has set for
 itself, or, if the target node has not set a physical address, the
 HARDWARE ADDRESS parameter if associated with the target node in the
 executor node's volatile database.  This parameter must be included if
 a broadcast circuit is specified in VIA circuit-id.

3  –  VIA circuit-id

 Identifies the circuit over which the operation is to take
 place.

4  –  Examples

      NCP>TRIGGER VIA DMC-5

          This command triggers the bootstrap  mechanism  on  the  node
          connected to circuit DMC-5.
