Use the TRIGGER NODE 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. TRIGGER NODE node-id SERVICE PASSWORD hex-password VIA circuit-id PHYSICAL ADDRESS address All underscores found in parameters must be replaced with spaces when parameters are used in NCP commands.
1 – NODE node-id
Identifies the node whose bootstrap is to be triggered.
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.
3 – SERVICE PASSWORD hex-password
Identifies the password required to trigger the bootstrap mechanism on the target node.
4 – VIA circuit-id
Identifies the circuit over which the operation is to take place.
5 – Examples
NCP>TRIGGER NODE NYC This command triggers the bootstrap mechanism on node NYC to initiate a downline load operation. NCP>TRIGGER NODE NYC SERVICE PASSWORD F0F0 VIA DMC-5 This command provides a service password in order to trigger the bootstrap mechanism on node NYC and initiate a downline load operation over circuit DMC-5.
