6.2.3.1. Connecting Ports
To Connect ports, proceed as follows:
1. Access the Command Mode.
2. Invoke the /C command to connect the desired ports.
a) Resident Connection: To connect your resident port to another
port, type /C x [Enter]. Where x is the number or name of the
port you want to connect. The CMS will display the numbers of
the connected ports, along with the command sequence that will be
required in order to disconnect the two ports.
Example: To connect your resident port to Port 5,
type /C 5 [Enter].
b) Third Party Connection: (Supervisor Mode Only) To connect any
two ports (other than your resident port), type /C x X [Enter].
Where x and X are two port names or numbers. The CMS will
display the numbers of the two connected ports.
Example: To connect Port 5 to Port 6, type /C 5 6 [Enter].
Notes:
• Resident Connections: RS232 Ports are not allowed to initiate a
Resident Connection to the Network Port.
• Third Party Connections: RS232 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.
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."
