Remote RMX-3200 Version 5.2x Configuration Guide
Configuring the Peripheral Management Subsystem: Expansion Peripheral Unit Discovery
25-10
Expansion Peripheral Unit Discovery
Expansion peripheral units announce themselves at all times to all locally-connected
Remote RMX-3200s. These announcements do not cross bridged or routed WAN
links, but they do traverse Ethernet bridges and hubs.
When Remote RMX-3200 discovers an expansion unit, it is made available for
association with a unit number by user command. The unit number configuration
settings are applied to the unit, which puts the unit under Remote RMX-3200’s
management control. For more information on setting up unit number/peripheral
associations, refer to
Configuring Remote RMX-3200 to Manage an Expansion
Peripheral on page 25-13.
Important: Only one Remote RMX-3200 at a time can manage a peripheral unit.
The first one that connects to the unit will manage it. However, if the
management connection drops, another Remote RMX-3200 could
become the new managing device. This situation is a misconfiguration.
