CFG_StartConfigurationEx

CFG_StartConfigurationEx triggers the ME to send “hello” messages to the setup and configuration application. This extended command has an additional parameter that enables configuration over IPv6.

This command is available in all boot modes.

This command is not allowed in POST_PROVISION state.

This command is allowed in IN_PROVISION state only if the time period dedicated for provisioning has elapsed.
