ASA Transparent Mode Using Management Interface

[NotMeHere]

The ASA configuration guide states that in transparent mode:

"The transparent security appliance uses an inside interface and an outside interface only. If your platform includes a dedicated management interface, you can also configure the management interface or subinterface for management traffic only."

Now when I configured the ASA as transparent I entered the following command to give it an IP addres in the global config:

ip address 192.168.1.250 255.255.255.0 standby 192.168.1.251

I also tried entering this command under the management interface, and the ASA just popped it back into the global config.

Should the ASA have 2 addresses? How do I give the ASA an address for management, in transparent mode, that it will answer to on the management interface? Sorry, but I must be missing something here and the configuration guide is a bit ambiguous on this.
