NI Utility
The NI utility is invoked by the SET or SHOW commands, not by
the TEST/UTIL command. The NI utility functions are:
SET/SHOW MOP - Enable/Disable NI listener
SET/SHOW TRIGGER - Enable/Disable EBM
NI Listener
The NI listener can send and receive messages while the system
is in console mode. The operation of the NI listener is transparent
to the console, and NI listener errors are not reported. Listener
failure can only be detected with the use of a network monitor
device. The default is NI listener enabled.
Examples:
To enable the listener, type the following:
>>>SET MOP 1
To disable the listener, type the following:
>>>SET MOP 0
EBM
The entity-based module (EBM) is used to enable the remote
console and remote boot. Remote boot allows another system to
send a boot message to the workstation to start the bootloader.
Examples:
To enable the MOP boot type the following:
>>>SET TRIGGER 1
To disable the MOP boot type the following:
>>>SET TRIGGER 0
