4.3.4 Other connection types

In some cases the port configuration may need to be changed so that port 1 is used for NMS and port 2 for DATA. One such case is if the data port is in RS-485 mode. RS-485 is only supported on port 2 of SATELLINE-3AS(d) NMS, therefore data must go on port 2 and NMS on port 1.

When a two-port (CRS_NMS) cable is not available, a regular cable (e.g. NARS-1F) may be used to demonstrate NMS features by setting port 1 as the NMS port on the Master Modem.

This configuration is only usable for NMS PC demonstration purposes. User data cannot be transferred in this configuration.
