CHAPTER 3: Getting Started
5. The PM Switch can perform two different types of port connections:
Resident Connections and Third-Party Connections.
a) Resident Connection: This type of connection occurs when your
resident port (the port that the device you’re using is attached to)
issues a /C command to connect to a second port:
i. To connect Port 1 to Port 3, type “/C 3” and press [Enter]. Note
that while Port 1 is connected to Port 3, the PM Switch will not
recognize commands received through Port 1. However, the
PM Switch will recognize a Resident Disconnect Sequence (see
below) issued at a connected port.
ii. Issue a Resident Disconnect Sequence to disconnect Port 1 from
Port 3: Type “[Enter]+++[Enter]”.
b) Third-Party Connection: This type of connection occurs when your
resident port issues a command to create a connection between two
other ports.
i. To connect Port 3 to Port 4, type “/C 3 4” and press [Enter].
ii. Note that while Ports 3 and 4 are connected, Port 1 will still
recognize PM Switch commands. For example, if you type “/S”
and press [Enter], the Status Screen will appear. Note that the
“STATUS” column now lists Ports 3 and 4 as connected, while Port
1 is listed as “FREE”.
iii. Issue a Third-Party Disconnect command to disconnect Ports 3
and 4. Type “/D 3” and press [Enter].
iv. Type “/S” and press [Enter] to re-display the Status Screen. Note
that the “STATUS” column now lists Ports 3 and 4 as “FREE”.
