Chapter 3 ROM Monitor Commands

mop

The mop command sets the MOP load/dump address. This is useful
when the loading the Remote Annex 4000’s operational image from
a VAX VMS load host. The command syntax is:

mop

[–d]

The mop command display looks like this:

The mop –d command displays the current MOP settings:

monitor:: mop

Enter preferred MOP load/dump address [<uninitialized>]::

Load Broadcast Y/N [Y]::

monitor:: mop –d
MOP preferred load/dump address: <uninitialized>
Load Broadcast: Y
