By connecting to the master port, you can switch to any of the four ports (A
through D) or operate any of the four relays. The menu system allows convenient
naming of each port and relay, as well as allowing setup of all Remote Management
Switch parameters. A login procedure protects the menu system from
unauthorized access.

You can bypass menu operation by transmitting escape codes to the master port of
the Switch. You can partially define these escape codes through the setup menus.

ONTROL
This option allows any of the four ports to access the master port by raising its
Request to Send (RTS) or Data Terminal Ready (DTR) control lead. This is an
alternative to menu selection (described in Section 4.1.1).
