NETWORK SERVICE ACCESS POINT Click on the Modify button to the right of the NSAP address if you want to modify the NSAP address for this NE. Important! The first eight characters of the NSAPs are always the same and cannot be changed. The remaining 18 characters of the NSAP area address are provisionable but only the Area field should be changed to assign a node to a different area.
