MODULAR SMART SWITCH 

9.6  Sending Default Start-of-Day Destination Ports

At the start of each day, each port will be routed through to port 1.  However,
for IBM compatible PCs, individual start-of-day destinations can be set for
each computer.  To do this, create a text file containing the desired selection
command (see 

Section 9.5

) and modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to send

this command when your computer powers on.  For example, by including
the line “TYPE CONNECT2.TXT>COM1:” in your PC’s AUTOEXEC.BAT file
(after copying CONNECT2.TXT from the utility software disk to a suitable
directory on your PC), you can set the start-of-day default port for your
computer to be number 2.

MODULAR SMART SWITCH

Where {name} is the name of the batch file that you are going to create and

{channel number} is the number of the port that you are going to connect to.
For example:

COPY CON: CONNECT2.TXT [enter]
<PM CONNECT 2>[function key 6][enter]

No spaces should be typed after the close angle bracket and before the

function key 6 is pressed.  When function key 6 has been pressed, a ^Z will
appear on the screen at the end of the line.  When the enter key is pressed,
the screen will display:

1 File(s) copied

This indicates that a file {name}.TXT has been created that contains the

software command text.  It is not normally possible to use a word processor to
create this file, since most word processors insert a line feed and carriage
return at the end of each line.  A file created with these extra characters could
upset your printouts by inserting a blank line at the top of your printout page.
This could cause laser printers to output a blank page and label printers to be
offset by one line.

At the DOS prompt, type:

COPY CON: {name}.BAT [enter]
TYPE {name}.TXT > {pc printer port}: [function key 6] [enter]

Where {name} is the name of the batch file that you are going to create and

{pc printer port} is the port that you wish to be routed to the required
printer—COM1, COM2, LPT1, LPT2, or LPT3.  For example:

COPY CON: CONNECT2.BAT [enter]
TYPE CONNECT2.TXT>COM1: [function key 6][enter]

As before, the screen will display “1 File(s) copied,” which indicates that a

batch file {name}.BAT has been created containing the text “TYPE
{name}.TXT>{pc printer port}:.”

To send the software command that you have created in {name}.TXT, type

the batch file name at the DOS prompt.  The above procedure can be used to
create a batch file to send any software command to any of your PC’s ports.
