Configuring nodes
Access Manager 2000 User Manual 5 -37
An ounce of prevention . . .
When you configure a node, you’re actually creating access to a location
in the database where an informational “picture” of the node is stored and
can be modified. A
Node ID provides a means of access to the database
and a reference to the location within the database.
Every network manager which communicates with a given node must use
the same
Node ID for that node and have the same “picture” or
representation of that node.

As a consequence, review these pointers to avoid errors:
1. When using two Access Managers to manage the same node, enter
the same node configuration data in the Node Definition screen at
both Access Managers. Yes, this creates a redundant information
base.
The only deviation from this rule occurs when using modems
operating at different baud rates. This is explained in #3.
2. When setting up alternate alarm paths to two different Access
Managers, you must make the same entries for Alarm Path
