CHAPTER 8: Command Reference Guide
Third-Party Disconnection (/D)
When two ports are connected, the /D command can be invoked at a third
port with “All” command capability in order to disconnect them. Note that
the /D command cannot be used to disconnect your resident port. To
disconnect your resident port, issue the Logoff Sequence (default =
“[Enter]+++[Enter]”) or wait for the Timeout Period to elapse (if Timeout
Disconnection is enabled). Also be aware that you only need to specify one of
the two connected ports to break the connection and free up both ports.
Command Availability: All (Administrator)
Command Format: /D[/Y] n [m ...] [Enter]
where:
/Y [optionally] suppresses the “SURE? (Y/N)” prompt;
n is the number or name of the [first] port to be disconnected,
or is an asterisk if you want to disconnect all currently
connected ports; and
m , etc. are the numbers or names of additional ports you want to
disconnect.
PM Switch Response:
Verbose: “SURE? (Y/N)”; if you then enter “Y,” the Switch will respond
with “PORT DISCONNECT.”
Terse: ]enter “Y,” the Switch will respond with “3.”
Examples:
• To disconnect Port 2 from Port 3, send either “/D 2 [Enter]” or “/D 3
[Enter]” from a device on a third port with “All” command capability.
• To disconnect Port 2 from Port 3 without having to deal with the “SURE?
(Y/N)” prompt, send either “/D/Y 2 [Enter]” or “/D/Y 3 [Enter]” from a
device on a third port with “All” command capability.
• To disconnect a group of ports with similar names, send “/D [shared
characters] [Enter]” from a device on a third port with “All” command
capability. If the three ports you wanted to disconnect were “PC1,” “PC2,”
and “PC3,” you would send “/D PC [Enter]”.
• To disconnect all ports, send “/D * [Enter]” from a device on a port with
“All” command capability.
