5.8 Operating Tips

When connecting to the Dual-Port Network Power Switch via network, modem or console port, keep in mind the following factors:

1.One connection at a time: Only one port can access the command mode at a time. When a command port is busy, the Switch will react as follows:

a)Network port busy: If a second user attempts to connect via the modem port, the Switch will send a busy message. If a second user attempts to connect via the console port, the port will not wake.

b)Modem port busy: If a second user attempts to connect via the network port, the connection will be refused. If a second user attempts to connect via the console port, the port will not wake.

c)Console port busy: If a second user attempts to connect via the network port, the connection will be refused. If a second user attempts to connect via the modem port, the console port will disconnect and the modem port will be granted access; the modem port has priority over the console port.
