Getting Started

b)Third Party Connection: Your resident port (e.g. Port 1) issues a /C command to create a connection between two other ports.

i.To connect Port 2 to Port 3, type /C 2 3 [Enter].

ii.While Ports 2 and 3 are connected, Port 1 will still recognize RSM commands. Type /S [Enter] to display the Port Status Screen. The "STATUS" column should now list Ports 2 and 3 as connected, and Port 1 as "Free".

iii.Issue a Third Party Disconnect command to disconnect Ports 2 and 3; type /D 2 [Enter]. The unit will display the "Are you Sure (y/n)?" prompt. Type y and press [Enter] to disconnect.

iv.Type /S [Enter] to display the Port Status Screen. The Status screen should now list Ports 2 and 3 as "Free".

5.Exit Command Mode: When you finish communicating with the unit via the text interface, it is important to always log off using the appropriate RSM command, rather than by simply closing your Telnet program. When you log off using the proper command, this ensures that the unit has completely exited from command

mode, and is not waiting for the inactivity timeout to elapse before allowing additional connections. To exit command mode, type /X and press [Enter].

This completes the RSM Quick Start procedure. Prior to placing the unit into operation, it is recommended to refer to the remainder of this User’s Guide for important information regarding advanced configuration capabilities and more detailed operation instructions. If you have further questions regarding the RSM unit, please contact WTI Customer Support as described in Appendix C.
