MP Command: MFG

MFG- Enter Manufacturing Mode. 

	NOTE: This command is reserved for HP manufacturing and is available for internal use only. Its use is protected by an authentication mechanism based on the algorithm currently used by workstation manufacturing.

The MP generates a lock word, and the user must supply an authentication key which is dependent on this lock word. A fixed timeout of one minute protects against inadvertent entry of this command. If the timeout pops or the wrong authentication key has been entered, the command has no effect.

If the correct authentication key is entered, the manufacturing mode is entered. This gives access to an additional set of MP commands. The command must again be invoked to exit manufacturing mode. If the manufacturing mode is not exited, it is available to the next person that accesses the command menu.

These commands show up in the HE command output when in manufacturing mode only.
