9.1.1.2. DisconnectingPorts-TextInterface
The Text Interface provides three different methods for disconnecting ports, the Resident
Disconnect, the Third Party Disconnect, and the No Activity Timeout. Providing the
Timeout feature is enabled, a No Activity Timeout will disconnect resident ports or third
party ports.

1. ResidentDisconnect: Disconnects your resident port from another port. For
example, if you are communicating via Port 3, and Port 3 is connected to Port 4, a
Resident Disconnect is used to disassociate the two ports. The TSM/RSM offers
two different disconnect command formats; the One Character Format and the
Three Character Format (for more information, please refer to Section 5.8.2.):

Section10.3.4.
a) OneCharacter(Default): Enter the logoff character once
(Default = [Ctrl] plus [X]). It is not necessary to enter a carriage return before
or after the logoff character.
b) ThreeCharacters: Uses the "[Enter]LLL[Enter]" format, where L is the logoff
character. For example, if the logoff character is "+", then the disconnect
sequence is [Enter]+++[Enter].
c) If the default disconnect command is not compatible with your application,
both the command format and logoff character can be redefined via the Port
Configuration menus, as described in Section 5.8.2.
2. ThirdPartyDisconnect: (Administrator and SuperUser Mode Only) The /D
command is issued from your resident port to disconnect two other ports. For
example, if your Resident Port is Port 1, a Third Party Disconnect is used to
disconnect Ports 3 and 4.

a) The /D command uses the format: /D xx [Enter], where xx is the number of
either of the connected ports that you wish to disconnect.
b) Third Party (Remote) Disconnects can only be performed by accounts that
permit Administrator or SuperUser level commands.
c) The /D command can specify both connected ports, or either of the two ports.
For example, if Port 1 is your resident port, any of the following commands can
be used to disconnect Port 3 from Port 4:
/D 3 4 [Enter]
or
/D 3 [Enter]
or
/D 4 [Enter]
