The NW (Network Prefix) command directs BNA Version 2 and OSI operator input commands to the BNA operations interface.

If the error message HOST USERCODE NOT SET results when you enter an NW command, check to see whether a usercode is available for the command; some types of networks accept operator input commands only with a usercode. If the command is entered at an ODT, either the Host Usercode or the TERM Usercode is used. If neither of these usercodes have been established, the command may be rejected. For information about assigning these usercodes, refer to the HU (Host Usercode) and TERM (Terminal) commands.
