NCP enables an operator to perform network control functions like changing
parameters, gathering information, down-line loading, up-line dumping,
triggering bootstrap, testing link and network, and zeroing counters.
.s1
Help for a specific command may be obtained with the HELP command as follows:
.s1
.i8

For instance, if you wish additional information about the CANCEL command you
would type "HELP CANCEL"

can check the status of the command with the SHOW QUEUE command.

type.
.s1
.lm0
*EXIT
.s1

command level.
.s1
.lm0
*HELP
.s1
.lm3
HELP allows you to display the function and format of any NCP command.
The format is
.s1
NCP> HELP keyword [additional parameters]
.s1
where keyword can be any one of the following NCP commands:
.s1
.lt
CANCEL CLEAR DEFINE DUMP ENTER EXIT HELP
LIST LOAD LOOP PURGE PUSH RETURN SET
SHOW TAKE TELL TRIGGER ZERO
.el
.s1
.lm0
*LIST
.s1
.lm3
LIST is used to display information from the permanent data base.
.s1
.lm0
*LOAD
.s1
.lm3
LOAD is used to load the system image file from one node to a remote node in
the network
.s1
.lm0
*LOOP
.s1
.lm3
LOOP is used to request a node level loopback test. The node specified in the
command is the node to be connected TO; that is, the node that will loop back
the data. This may be the local node or a remote node.
.s1
.lm0
*PURGE
.s1
.lm3
PURGE is used to clear parameters of an entity from the permanent data base.
Additional information available
.lm6
.s1;PURGE CIRCUIT
.br;PURGE EXECUTOR NODE
.br;PURGE LINE
.br;PURGE LOGGING
.br;PURGE NODE
.s1
.lm0
*PURGE CIRCUIT
.s1
.lm3
PURGE CIRCUIT is used to clear the permanent circuit parameters for the
circuit(s) identified in the command.
.s1
.lm0
*PURGE EXECUTOR NODE

the local node.
.s1
.lm0
*PURGE LINE
.s1
.lm3
PURGE LINE is used to clear the permanent line parameters for the line(s)
identified in the command.
.s1
.lm0
*PURGE LOGGING
.s1
.lm3
PURGE LOGGING is used to control the logging of events, both the events that
will be logged and where they will be logged.
.s1
.lm0

node-id or set as EXECUTOR.
.s1

command level. The POP command is used to return to the NCP command level.

.lm0
*RETURN
.s1
.lm3
RETURN is used to return to the OPR command level.
.s1

TAKE is used to execute a series of NCP commands from a specified command file.
.s1
.lm0
*TELL
.s1
.lm3
TELL NODE is used as a prefix to designate the node that is to process the
command. The prefix is effective only for the single command that immediately
follows. Although the access information is optional, the node specified as
node-id may refuse to accept the command.
.s1
Using the TELL NODE prefix is more efficient than a combination of SET EXECUTOR
and CLEAR EXECUTOR commands when only one command is to be given to a node.
.s1
.lm0
*TRIGGER
.s1
.lm3

*ZERO
.s1
.lm3
ZERO is used to generate a counters zeroed event that causes counters to be
logged. The counters are then set to zero. The counters affected are those
associated with the specified entity.
