Operation
To Connect ports, proceed as follows:
1. Access command mode via the Text Interface.
2. Invoke the /C command to connect the desired ports.
a) Resident Connect: To connect your resident port to another port, type /C xx
[Enter]. Where xx is the number or name of the port you want to connect.
The RSM will display the numbers of the connected ports, along with the
command required in order to disconnect the two ports.
Example: To connect your resident port to Port 8, type /C 8 [Enter].
b) Third Party Connect: (Supervisors Only) To connect any two ports (other than
your resident port), type /C xx XX [Enter]. Where xx and XX are two port
names or numbers. The RSM will display the numbers of the two connected
ports.
Example: To connect Port 5 to Port 6, access command mode at a third
port that permits Supervisor commands (using an account that also permits
supervisor commands), and invoke the following command: /C 5 6 [Enter].
Notes:
• Resident Connections: RS232 Ports are not allowed to initiate a Resident
Connection to the Network Port.
• Third Party Connections: RS232 Ports are not allowed to connect another
port to the network port. For example, Port 1 is not allowed to connect Port 3
to the Network Port.
When the /C command specifies the port name, it is only necessary to enter enough
letters to differentiate the desired port from other ports. Type an asterisk (*) to represent
the remaining characters in the port name. For example, to connect your resident port
to a port named “SALES”, the connect command can be invoked as /C S*, providing
no other port names begin with the letter “S”.
