Getting Started
b) Third Party Connection: Your resident port (e.g. Port 1) issues a /C command
to create a connection between two other ports.
i. To connect Port 2 to Port 3, type /C 2 3 [Enter].
ii. While Ports 2 and 3 are connected, Port 1 will still recognize RSM
commands. Type /S [Enter] to display the Port Status Screen. The
"STATUS" column should now list Ports 2 and 3 as connected, and Port 1
as "Free".
iii. Issue a Third Party Disconnect command to disconnect Ports 2 and 3; type
/D 2 [Enter]. The unit will display the "Are you Sure (y/n)?" prompt. Type
y and press [Enter] to disconnect.
iv. Type /S [Enter] to display the Port Status Screen. The Status screen
should now list Ports 2 and 3 as "Free".
5. Exit Command Mode: When you finish communicating with the unit via the text
interface, it is important to always log off using the appropriate RSM command,
rather than by simply closing your Telnet program. When you log off using the
proper command, this ensures that the unit has completely exited from command
mode, and is not waiting for the inactivity timeout to elapse before allowing
additional connections. To exit command mode, type /X and press [Enter].
This completes the RSM Quick Start procedure. Prior to placing the unit into operation,
it is recommended to refer to the remainder of this User’s Guide for important
information regarding advanced configuration capabilities and more detailed operation
instructions. If you have further questions regarding the RSM unit, please contact WTI
Customer Support as described in Appendix C.
