4.3 Relative and absolute addressing
This paragraph explains what relative and absolute addressing is.
If you want to open a TMA CLI session on a device, you have to specify the address of the device. You
can apply three types of addressing methods:
Address type
relative
Description
This type of addressing is meant for a network topology where the modems are
connected in-line on management level. E.g. with extended management links
between two modems. An extended management link is realised with a cross
connect cable between the auxiliary connectors of two modems.

relative 1
relative 3
To enable relative addressing, no address has to be specified in the modem.
absolute
This type of addressing is meant for a network topology where the modems are not
connected in-line on management level. E.g. when there is a digital multipoint device
present.

To enable absolute addressing, an address has to be specified in the modem. The
absolute addressing range goes from 0 up to 65535. Refer to the manual of the
modem for more information.

absolute
Relative and absolute addressing can be mixed. E.g. use relative addressing for the
modems which are connected in-line. Use absolute addressing for the modems
located after a digital multipoint device.
