CMS-6R4 Series - User’s Guide

Hunt Group port names must be unique. Otherwise, ports with similar names will also be included in the Hunt Group.

Hunt Group Example 1:

1.Ports 3 and 4 are Modem Mode ports, and external modems are installed at both ports. Port 3 is named "MODEM1" and Port 4 is named "MODEM2".

2.Your resident port is Port 1. To connect to the first available external Modem, access the Command Mode and type /C MODEM* [Enter].

Hunt Group Example 2:

1.Ports 3, 4, and 5 are Any-to-Any Mode ports. All three ports are named "SERVER".

2.Your resident port is Port 1. If you want to connect Port 2 to the first available server, access the Command Mode and type /C 2 SERVER

[Enter].

6.3Port Modes

6.3.1.Any-to-Any Mode

Any-to-Any Mode Ports can be connected to other Any-to-Any, Passive, Buffer, or Modem Mode ports by accessing command mode via the Text Interface and issuing the /C Command. The Any-to-Any Mode is the default port mode at Ports 1 through 6.

6.3.2.Passive Mode

Passive Mode Ports function the same as Any-to-Any Mode Ports, but do not allow access to command mode. A Passive Mode Port can communicate with other ports, but cannot enter command mode, and therefore cannot redefine parameters, display status, connect ports or control power outlets.

Passive Mode Ports can be connected by accessing command mode from a free Any-to-Any or Modem Mode Port, and invoking the Third Party Connect or Resident Connect Command as described in Section 6.2.3.2. Passive Mode ports will not buffer data, except during baud rate conversion.

Note: In order to ensure access to command mode functions, the Passive Mode is not available at Ports 1 or 2 (the SetUp Ports) or at Port 7 (the Internal Modem Port.)
