A group’s network management signaling is passed along a multi-drop bus in the
backplane to each NC port. One slot of each group is the Bus Master slot (NC 1 for
group 1, NC 2 for group 2, etc.). The group number is identified by the Bus Master
slot number (e.g., Group 1 uses Bus 1 Master slot). For a group’s NC port to work, its
Bus Master slot must be occupied. Figures 9 and 10 show this for each backplane.
