SERIAL CONSOLE PORT MANAGER
To connect ports:
1. Access the Command Mode. If the Password Prompt is displayed, enter your
Supervisor or Port Password.
2. Invoke the /C command to connect the desired ports.
a)
Resident Connect:
To connect your resident port to another port, type
/C
xx
and press
[Enter]
, where “
xx
” is the number or name of the port
you want to connect. For example, to connect your resident port to Port 8,
type
/C 8
and press
[Enter]
. Or, to connect your resident port to a port
named “
MODEM
”, type
/C MODEM
and press
[Enter]
.
b)
Third-Party Connect (Supervisor Mode only):
To connect any two ports
(other than your resident port), type
/C
xx yy
and press
[Enter]
, where
“
xx
” and “
yy
” are two port names or numbers. For example, to connect
Port 5 to Port 6 from a port in Supervisor Mode, type
/C 5 6
and press
[Enter]
. Or, to connect a port named “SALES” to a port named
“MODEM” from a port in Supervisor Mode, type
/C SALES MODEM
and
press
[Enter]
.
Actually, when the /C command specifies the port name, it is only necessary to
enter enough letters to differentiate the desired port from other ports; type an
asterisk (*) to represent the remaining characters in the port name. For example,
if there are no other ports whose names begin with “S”, you can connect your
resident port to a port named “SALES” by typing in just
/C S*
[Enter]
.
