To Connect ports, proceed as follows:
1. Access the Command Mode. If the Password Prompt is displayed, enter your Supervisor
or Port Password.
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 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 8, type /C 8 [Enter].
b) Third Party Connect: (Supervisor 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 CMS will display the numbers of the two connected ports.
Example: To connect Port 5 to Port 6, invoke the following command at a port with
Supervisor Level command capability: /C56[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".
