1  –  MOP

1.1  –  Circuit

    Causes the system you are managing to send a boot message to an
    adjacent system so the adjacent system will load itself.  (The Phase V
    NCL BOOT MOP CIRCUIT command is roughly equivalent to the Phase IV
    NCP TRIGGER VIA command.)

    If you chose optionally to enter a Client name in the previous menu, the
    default boot parameters for this operation are obtained by looking up the
    information for that MOP Client, and the parameters present in the current
    display.

    The required arguments for this boot operation are:

     o  Address

        The LAN address of the target node on the circuit named in the
        circuit argument.

     o  Circuit

        The MOP circuit you have currently selected for the boot operation.

     The optional arguments for this boot operation are:

     o  Client

        A client entity to be used for this operation, if you provided one
        in the previous display.

     o  Device

        Provides some information required by the target system for the
        boot operation.

     o  Script ID

        Script file required by the target system for boot.

     o  Software ID

        System image required by the target system for boot.

     o  Verification

        A hex string that must match a verification code at the receiving
        system in order to trigger the bootstrap mechanism so that the
        downline load can be performed.  The default is '0000000000000000'H,
        or %x00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00.

    Pressing the OK button will cause the boot command to be executed and
    will return control back to the main window.

    Pressing the RESET button will cause all the arguments to be reset back
    to the state they were in when you first entered this display.

    Pressing the CANCEL button will return you to the main window.  No boot
    command will be issued.

1.2  –  Client

    Causes the system you are managing to send a boot message to an
    adjacent system so that the adjacent system will load itself.  (The
    Phase V NCL BOOT MOP CLIENT command is roughly equivalent to the
    Phase IV NCP TRIGGER NODE command).

    The required arguments for this boot operation are:

     o  Address

        The LAN address of the target node on the circuit named in the
        circuit argument.

     o  Circuit

        The MOP circuit over which the boot operation is to occur.

     The optional arguments for this boot operation are:

     o  Device

        Provides some information required by the target system for the
        boot operation.

     o  Script ID

        Script file required by the target system for boot.

     o  Software ID

        System image required by the target system for boot.

     o  Verification

        A hex string that must match a verification code at the receiving
        system in order to trigger the bootstrap mechanism so that the
        downline load can be performed.  The default is '0000000000000000'H,
        or %x00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00.

    Pressing the OK button will cause the boot command to be executed and
    will return control back to the main window.

    Pressing the RESET button will cause all the arguments to be reset back
    to the state they were in when you first entered this display.

    Pressing the CANCEL button will return you to the main window.  No boot
    command will be issued.
