The Managing IP Address of the VMS is sent out with the multicast to all of the
Vipersat units and will be automatically updated during the registration process.
If available, this is the IP address to which the CDM-570/570L sends a unicast
registration request every 60 seconds when requesting initial registration on the
VMS network. Later, the CDM-570/570L uses this address to send switch
requests, network health messages, etc. to the managing VMS server.
Note: The managing address will be set automatically if the Receive Multicast
Address is set correctly and the modem is receiving the announcement
multicast message. However, the modems WILL NOT send their regis-
tration messages until this address is set.
Once the modem is registered, the I command is removed from the
Vipersat Configuration menu.
