5.5.2. Port Modes

The CMS offers four different port operation modes; Any-to-Any Mode, Passive Mode, Buffer Mode, and Modem Mode. The Port Modes function as follows:

●Any-to-Any Mode: Allows communication between connected ports. Any-to-Any Mode Ports can be connected to other Any-to-Any Mode, Passive Mode, Buffer Mode, or Modem Mode Ports by accessing Command Mode and invoking the /C command (see Section 7.1.1). The Any-to-Any Mode is available to all ports.

●Passive Mode: Allows communication between connected ports, but does not allow access to Command Mode. Passive Mode Ports can be connected by accessing Command Mode from a free Any-to-Any or Modem Mode port and invoking the /C command (see Section 7.1.1). The Passive Mode is not available to Ports 1 or 2 or the Network Port.

●Buffer Mode: Allows collection and storage of data received from connected devices. Collected data can be retrieved by accessing Command Mode from a free Any-to-Any or

Modem Mode Port, and issuing the Connect (/C) Command. Note that the Buffer Mode also allows pass-through communication with the connected device. The Buffer Mode is not available to Ports 1 or 2 or the Network Port.

●Modem Mode: Allows communication between connected ports and simplifies connection to an external modem. A port configured for the Modem Mode can perform all functions normally available in Any-to-Any Mode. The Modem Mode also allows definition of a Hang-Up String, Reset String, and Initialization String. Any CMS RS232 port can be configured for the Modem Mode. The Modem Mode is not available at the Network Port.

For more information on Port Modes, please refer to Section 7.

5.5.3. RS232 Port Configuration Menus

The Port Configuration Menus are used to select options for each of the CMS RS232 ports. Parameters selected via these menus will stay in effect until the unit is initialized or the /P command is used to reconfigure the port. After initialization, parameters will revert to the defaults specified by the Option Switches.

To select port parameters, proceed as follows:

1.Access the Command Mode. If the password prompt is displayed, key in your Supervisor Level Password.

2.Type /P, followed by the number of the port to be configured, and press [Enter]. For example, to configure Port 2, type /P 2 [Enter]. The Port Configuration menu will appear (Figure 5.1).
