USING MULTIPLE PORTS
You can communicate to either the Ethernet port or the RS-232
port (COM1) at any given time; the port that you communicate to
first is the only one that is recognized until you cycle power.
You can communicate to the Ethernet port or the RS-232 port
(COM1) while the 6K is also communicating with an RP240 via
the RS-232/485 port (COM2).
