Vipersat Manager
The Vipersat Manager is used to set the management addresses, register the
Network IDs, and define the communications timeout parameters for the
networks that will be managed and controlled by the VMS. This service
manager maintains the comprehensive list of all registered network units, along
with their current health status—OK, Alarmed, or Disconnected. The units are
identified and correlated with the network ID to which they are configured.
As new units are added and announce themselves to the network, the Vipersat
Manager service processes and receives them. Once received, each unit is
promoted to the Subnet Manager according to their addressing masks. Upon
VMS startup, each network appearance under Vipersat Manager orders the units
first by device type, then by IP address within the type.
