WTI CMS-16; Console Management Switch -- User's Guide
●Ports 5, 7, and 9 (User Ports): The Port Password "COLOCATION1" has been assigned to these three ports. If the CMS is contacted via the Network Port or Modem Port, and this password is entered at log in, Users will only be able to review status and connect to the devices attached to Ports 5, 7, and 9.
●Ports 12, 14, and 16 (User Ports): The Port Password "COLOCATION2" has been assigned to these three ports. If the CMS is contacted via the Network Port or Modem Port, and this password is entered at log in, Users will only be able to review status and connect to the devices attached to Ports 12, 14, and 16.
Note that in this example, Ports 3 through 16 could also be a mixture of ports connected to external modems, and ports connected to devices such as file servers or archives. This would allow remote users to dial in and access a specific file server or archive after entering a valid Port Password at log in.
