      NCP>CONNECT NODE RTRDEV SERVICE PASSWORD FEFEFEFEFEFEFEFE -
      _ VIA UNA-0 PHYSICAL ADDRESS AA-00-04-00-38-04

          This command connects the host node to the console
          interface on the target node RTRDEV specifying the
          service password FEFEFEFEFEFEFEFE, the service circuit
          UNA-0, and the physical address AA-00-04-00-38-04.

      NCP>CONNECT NODE RTRDEV

          Since the physical address is not specified in this
          command, the host node acquires the hardware address
          associated with node RTRDEV from its local node
          database, and then attempts to connect using a channel
          to that hardware address.

          If the connection attempt using the hardware address
          channel is unsuccessful, the host node uses the node
          address associated with node RTRDEV in its local node
          database to construct a physical address.  The host
          node will then attempt to connect using a channel
          to that physical address.

      NCP>CONNECT NODE RTRDEV PHYSICAL ADDRESS 08-00-2B-22-45-CD

          The host will connect to the target node RTRDEV using
          a channel to the address 08-00-2B-22-45-CD.  The
          address specified in the command overrides the default
          node information provided by the host node's volatile
          node database.
