Complete ONline Control

When you install an EMM into a concentrator for the first time and it becomes master, it automatically learns and saves the configurations of all existing modules and their ports. The EMM provides the following features that maximize security and minimize the risk of losing module and port configuration settings:

All known modules installed in an ONline System Concentrator after an EMM has been installed will have all ports disabled to prevent unapproved connections and will be set to the network setting of isolated. The one exception is when a module is unknown to the EMM, in which case it will be configured off its dip switch settings.

If you remove any module from the concentrator and then reinstall it, or another module of the same type in the original slot, the EMM will automatically configure it as it was as of the last save.

If you replace an EMM with another EMM, the new EMM automatically learns the module and port configurations. However, you will need to configure the new EMM to the proper terminal and device settings.
