You can use the NCP Emulator tool to manage remote Phase IV nodes with the TELL and SET EXECUTOR NODE commands. The TELL command allows you to perform a single NCP command on the remote node, and you may choose to supply access control information within the command. For example, to zero the executor counters on a remote Phase IV node from a local Phase V node, enter the following: $ run sys$system:ncp NCP> tell remnod"account password" zero exec counters The NCP Emulator tool is not intended for management of Phase V nodes, so all NCP commands are not supported. The following error is returned if an unsupported NCP Emulator command is attempted on a Phase V system without specifying a remote Phase IV system: NCP> zero exec counters %NCP-W-SYSMGT, System-specific management function not supported When you wish to perform a series of commands on a single remote Phase IV node, you can set your default NCP context to that node using the NCP SET EXECUTOR NODE command; again you may choose to supply default access control information within that command. For example, after the following command is issued, all subsequent commands within that NCP session will be performed on node FAZ4ND using the specified access control information: $ mcr ncp NCP> set executor node faz4nd"account password" See HELP NETWORK_MANAGEMENT TOOLS NCP_EMULATOR for more information on the use of the NCP Emulator.
