Network Management Port
All Safari Network functions and services are done via the
Network Management Port (NMP). Choosing this port
should be one of the first planning considerations. By
factory default, the Safari Network radio module has
COM2 set to the Network Management Port (NMP). All
functions referred to in this chapter must be initiated via
the NMP.
For Network Management, COM2 or COM3 should be
selected. Network Management is not allowed via COM1.
In order to simplify reconfiguration and diagnostics it is
desirable to have a permanent connection at the NCU for
Administrative functions. The port that Network
Management is being initiated from can also be assigned
services; however, these services will not function while
the network is being administered. Chapter 4
Configuration details Network Management and
Administration.
When Network Management is initiated, the
service on that port will temporarily be disabled in
order to allow the administration of the network
via that port. After Network Administration is
complete, a power cycle will restore the port to its
configured service.
