Operation

To disconnect ports, proceed as follows:

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 APS-8/16M offers two different Resident Disconnect command formats; the One Character Format and the Three Character Format (for more information, please refer to Section 5.5.3.):

a)One Character (Default): When the One Character Disconnect Sequence is selected, simply enter the selected Logoff Character once (Default = ^X ([Ctrl] plus [X])). Note that it is not necessary to enter a carriage return before or after the Logoff Character.

b)Three Characters: Uses the format [Enter]LLL[Enter], where

L is the Logoff Character. For example, if the Logoff Character is "+", then the three character disconnect sequence would be [Enter]+++[Enter].

c)If the default Resident Disconnect Sequence is not compatible with your application, both the command format and Logoff Character can be redefined via the Port Configuration menus, as described in Section 5.5.3.

2.Third Party Disconnect: (Supervisor Mode Only) The /D command is issued from your resident port to disconnect two third party ports. For example, if your Resident Port is Port 1, a Third Party Disconnect could disconnect Port 3 from Port 4.

a)The /D command uses the format: /D xx XX [Enter], where xx and XX are the numbers of the ports that you wish to disconnect.

b)The /D (Disconnect) command can only be invoked by a port that permits Supervisor Mode.

c)The /D command can specify both connected ports, or either of the two ports. For example, if Port 1 is your resident port, any of the following commands can be used to disconnect Port 3 from Port 4:

/D 3 4 [Enter]

or

/D 3 [Enter]

or

/D 4 [Enter]
