2. Invoke the /C command to connect the desired ports.

. 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: /C 5 6 [Enter].

Note:

●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".

7.1.1.2. Disconnecting Ports

There are 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.

Note: Option 74 in the Port Parameters Menu determines how the DTR signal will react when the port disconnects. The DTR signal can either be held low, held high, or pulsed and then held high.

1.Resident Disconnect: 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 would be used to disassociate the two ports. The CMS offers two different Resident Disconnect command formats; the Three Character Format and the One Character Format (for more information, please refer to Section 5.5.3.):
