Network Management 2-5
Network
Management Network management is performed through the SUPV port and the NMS port.
these ports allow connection of devices such as an 8100A Site controller (with
optional SNMP management), modems, and terminal devices. The SUPV port can
support any one of the three, whereas the NMS port can only support the 8100A
Site Controller. It is recommended that the supervisory port be used with a
terminal or modem, and the NMS port be used with the 8100A Site Controller. The
terminal and modem configurations are explained in section Supervisory (SUPV)
Port. The NMS port is made available through the card edge connector when the
card is placed in the 1024 chassis. The 1024 chassis creates a communications
daisychain from one card to the next, from one end of the chassis to the other. The
1024 chassis provides modular connectors where the 8100A Site Controller can
complete the chain. An example chain is shown in Figure 2-4. There are different
NMS configurations available with the 8100A Site Controller and this information
is provided in the 8100A configuration guide and manual.
All units on the same NMS chain must use the same NMS bit rate and have different
addresses (see NMS Address on page 3-2).
