3. Select the remote’s modulator, open the Subnet View, as shown in
figure 3-26, and refresh the device view to verify that the VMS has picked
up the home state.
Tip: If the list is empty, it is likely that the remote is not registered. Ensure that
all sites are registered with the VMS before attempting InBand
Management. Typically, if the device icon is illuminated (green or red), the
modem has registered. To verify that the modem is registered with the
managing VMS, secure a connection to the unit through either Telnet or
Web interface.
