Operation
To Connect ports using the Text Interface, 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 TSM/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: (Administrator and SuperUser Mode 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 TSM/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 Administrator level commands (using an account that also
permits Administrator or SuperUser level commands), and invoke the following
command: /C 5 6 [Enter].
Notes:
• ResidentConnections:TSM/RSMserialportsarenotallowedtoinitiatea
ResidentConnectiontotheNetworkPort.
• ThirdPartyConnections:Serial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.
Notes:
• WhentheInactivityTimeoutisdisabled,thisallowsportstoautomatically
reconnectafterapowerinterruption.Whenpowerisrestoredtothe
unit,pairsofportsthatwerepreviouslyconnectedwillbeautomatically
reconnected,providingthattheInactivityTimeoutisdisabledatbothports,
andthetwoportshavebeenconnectedforatleasttenminutespriortothe
powerinterruption.
• TheonlyexceptiontothisruleisSerialPort1,whichwillremain
disconnectedafterpowerisrestoredinordertoprovideafreeserialportfor
localaccesstocommandmode.
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”.
