CHAPTER 6: Operation
c) The /D command line can specify port names instead of port
numbers. However, port names are case-sensitive, so make sure you
use the right case for each letter of the port name.
3. No-Activity Timeout: Providing that the Timeout Disconnection feature
has been enabled for either connected port, the No-Activity Timeout can
be used to automatically disconnect any two connected ports.
a) The Timeout Feature is enabled and defined by invoking the /P
command to access the Port Configuration Menu for the desired
port. Option 9 is used to enable or disable the Timeout Feature, and
Option 10 is used to define the Timeout Period.
b) When the Timeout Feature has been enabled, the port will
automatically disconnect when no additional data is received for the
defined Timeout Period. The default Timeout Period is 5 seconds.
6.2 Defining Hunt Groups
A “hunt group” is a user-specified set of ports that you can direct the
PM Switch to scan and connect to the first available member. Hunt groups are
created by assigning identical or similar port names to two or more ports. Any
port can belong to a hunt group. To create a hunt group, take these steps
(remembering that port names are case-sensitive):
1. Access the PM Switch Command Mode.
2. Invoke the /P command to access the Port Configuration Menu for one
of the ports you want to include. For example, to configure Port 4, type
“/P 4 [Enter]”.
3. From the Port Configuration Menu, select item 1 to define the port
name.
