AMX Switch Series Installer/User Guide
You can force a connection using any of the following methods:
• Forcing a connection using the Command Line
• Forcing a connection using Serial Force mode
• Forcing a connection using SNMP
Guidelines
NOTE: The following guidelines do not apply when forcing a connection using SNMP.
All forced connections are done in Shared mode. For optimum operation of the force connection
feature, observe the following guidelines:
• Both the user entering the command and the user at the target user station must have rights to
the target device.
• All user stations and IQ modules must have unique names.
• If the host and target user stations are connected to different AMX switches, the AMX
switching system must be synchronized using the AMWorks software.
• (Serial Force mode only) To prevent the host user station from automatically logging out, the
Inactivity Timer Disconnect function must be disabled. See
Persistent mode on page 57 for
more information.
• (Serial Force mode only) If Force User Login is enabled, a user must be logged in. See
Administering security settings on page 45 for more information.
Force connect and force disconnect commands
The force connect and force disconnect commands contain two user-defined variables: the
[TargetUserStationName] and the [servername]. Single quotes are required before and after each
variable. The following is an example of a force connect command:
fc ‘User Station 3’ ‘Server 43’ .
• [TargetUserStationName] - the name of the user station that you wish to connect to or
disconnect from the target device.
To determine the name of the user station, launch the OSCAR interface and click the ? tab.
Press the
End
key to view the unit name at the bottom of the screen. When entering a force
connect or disconnect command, replace [TargetUserStationName] with the unit name.
• [servername] - the name of the target device to which you wish the user station to force a
connection or disconnection.
The server name is stored on the IQ module and is displayed in the list on the Target tab of the
OSCAR interface. When entering a force connect or disconnect command, replace
[servername] with the appropriate target device name from the Target list.
Forcing a connection using the OSD Command Line
To force a user station to make or break a connection:
1. Press the default Command Line hotkey sequence to display the Command Line. For more
information see
Accessing the Command Line on page 62.
