Multiple Port Access
The Autopatch can be configured for access by multiple controller ports.
These ports can be linked or operating separately. Because of the highly
flexible nature of the
S-COM command set, a number of commands must be
entered to configure the Autopatch for access by multiple ports. If dynamic
reconfiguration is required, several macros must be created that properly
reconfigure the autopatch as paths are changed.
The default configuration of the Autopatch is the same as it was in firmware
versions before V2.03:
•
Autopatch commands can be entered from any port.
•
Autopatch command response messages, eg. Access, Dump, Busy,
Error, go only to transmitter #1.
•
Audio to the phone line comes only from receiver #1.
•
Audio from the phone line goes only to transmitter #1.
If this is your intended configuration, you don’t need to make any of the
configuration changes described in this section. Proceed to configure access
for multiple ports.
In order to properly accept commands from multiple receivers and to route
autopatch audio and response messages to both transmitters, several new
commands have been defined:
•
Additional link paths have been defined for all receivers and both
transmitters. See the Enable/Disable Path command on page 13-2.
•
Autopatch response messages, eg. Access, Dump, Busy, Error, are
now routable to either or both transmitters. See Select Autopatch
Command Response Message Routing on page 7-68.
•
Autopatch access-triggered macros are now specific to each receiver.
The original access-triggered macro is executed when a receiver-
specific macro has not been defined. See
Select Autopatch Access-
Triggered Macro on page 7-67.
