MA NMS Installation and
Configuration Guide.
5.1 Overview
After completing the required physical connections, it is required to perform some basic setup
and adjustment procedures to the MA 2000 system elements. The setup procedures are
performed through:
• A local connection to each MA 410/430 controller to which the MA 2000 head-end system
devices (BUs and RIUs) are connected

NOTE: The setup and adjustment procedures may also be performed through a remote connection to the
MA 430 controller using the
MA NMS
application.
The following steps are required to setup and adjust MA 2000 system devices
1. Assign an IP address (if it has not already been configured) to each MA 430 controller in
your installation (section
