9.1.1.1. ConnectingPorts-TextInterface
Two different types of connections can be made between TSM/RSM serial ports;
Resident Connections and Third Party Connections The TSM/RSM allows
communication between devices without the requirement that both ports use the same
communication parameters.
• ResidentConnections: Your resident port issues a /C command to connect to a
second port. For example, Port 4 issues the /C command to connect to Port 5.
• ThirdPartyConnections: (Administrator and SuperUser Mode Only) Your resident
port issues a /C command to create a connection between two other ports. For
example, Port 1 is your resident port, and Port 1 issues a command to connect
Port 2 to Port 3.
