USER MANUAL
If the background monitor detects a secondary that went offline and the auto
redundant media feature is active, the Network Manager will attempt to
contact the secondary on the alternate channel as described in the Redundant
Media
section above.
You can obtain peak performance by consecutively numbering your secondary
devices and HIUs, starting with address 01, and by setting the largest
secondary
device address value in
the CONFIGURE ADAPTER command. This
will keep the Network Manager from spending time on device addresses that
will
never exist on
the network. Y
