The following VMS command is used to establish a console carrier session from
a VAXstation 3100 system to a DECserver 90L+. The Ethernet address of the
DECserver 90L+ in this example is 08-00-2B-08-32-2B, and SVA-0 identifies the
system’s Ethernet circuit name.
$ MCR NCP
$ NCP> CONNECT VIA SVA-0 PHY ADDR 08-00-2B-08-32-2B
Console connected (press CTRL/D when finished)

Accessing a DECserver 90L+ Repeatedly
If you need to access a specific DECserver 90L+ repeatedly, you can enter the
Ethernet address for it in the NCP database. This is usually done by choosing an
arbitrary address in area 13. DECserver names in the NCP database can have
a maximum of six characters. The user must have privileges to modify the NCP
database.
For example, if you define your DECserver 90L+ as DS90L on address 13.87 and
then access it from a VAX 6400 (Ethernet circuit name BNA-0), you would use
the following commands:
$
NCP> DEFINE NODE DS90L ADDRESS 13.87 HARDWARE 08-00-2B-08-32-2B SERVICE CIR BNA-0
NCP> SET NODE DS90L ALL
To access the DECserver 90L+, type the following:
$ NCP CONNECT NODE DS90L
