Event Datagram NAP

To support event/alarm transfer over the NMS multiplexer event port or to support the NMS
command language over the command port, a NAP must be configured as an event datagram port.
The event port is a one-way communication link that allows event information to be sent to the
NMS host computer from the nodes. This port links the NMS host computer to a 74x multiplexer.
The command port links a multiplexer to the NMS host computer for sending NMS multiplexer
commands and for receiving responses from the nodes. If you want to configure the first NAP to
connect to the NMS multiplexer event port and the second NAP to connect to the NMS multiplexer
command port, define both NAPs as event datagram ports.

You can now disconnect the terminal or PC from the multiplexer and then connect the
cables between the NMS host computer and the multiplexer.
Once a NAP is configured as an event datagram port, it can
only be changed from another node with SDL connectivity to
this node or by using a pen (or other pointed instrument) to
press the RESET button below the NAP. After pressing the
RESET button, you may need to press the ENTER key on the
asynchronous terminal or PC connected to that NAP several
times before you see a valid prompt. The RESET operation will
restore the NAP to its default ''supervisory" configuration.
