4.Creating Connections Between Ports: The APS-8/16M can perform two different types of port connections; Resident Connections and Third Party Connections.

i.To connect Port 1 to Port 2, type /C 2 [Enter]. While Port 1 is connected, the APS-8/16M will not recognize commands issued at Port 1. However, the unit will recognize a Resident Disconnect Sequence issued at Port 1 or Port 2.

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

ii.While Ports 2 and 3 are connected, Port 1 will still recognize APS 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".
