CMS-6R4 Series - User’s Guide
3.3. Connecting Ports and Switching Outlets
Although both the Text Interface and Web Browser Interface allow you
to select configuration parameters, the Text Interface is always used when
invoking commands to create connections between ports. Although the Web
Browser Interface does allow access to outlet switching functions, for this
Quick Start procedure, it is recommended to perform the following steps via
the Text Interface. If you have previously accessed command mode via the
Web Browser Interface, exit command mode (log out), then re-enter command
mode using the Text Interface as described in Step 1 in Section 3.2.
Proceed as follows to connect ports and switch outlets:
1.
Review the Help Menu:
At the Text Interface command prompt, type
/H
and press
[Enter]
to display the Help Menu, which provides a basic
listing of all available CMS-6R4 commands.
2.
Creating Connections Between Ports:
The CMS-6R4 can perform two
different types of port connections; Resident Connections and Third Party
Connections:
a)
Resident Connection:
Your resident port issues a /C command to
connect to a second port.
i. To connect your resident port to Port 3, type
/C 2
[Enter]
.
While you are connected to Port 3, the unit will not recognize
additional commands issued via your resident port. However,
the unit will recognize a Resident Disconnect Sequence issued
at either connected port.
ii. Issue the Resident Disconnect Sequence (Logoff Sequence);
type
^X
(press
[Ctrl]
and
[X]
at the same time).
b)
Third Party Connection:
Your resident port issues a /C command
to create a connection between two other ports.
i. To connect Port 3 to Port 4, type
/C 3 4
[Enter]
.
ii. While Ports 3 and 4 are connected, your resident port will still
recognize commands. Type
/S
[Enter]
to display the Status
Screen. The "STATUS" column should now list Ports 3 and 4
as connected and the other ports as "Free".
iii. Issue a Third Party Disconnect command; type
/D 3
[Enter]
.
The unit will display the "Are you Sure (y/n)?" prompt. Type
y
and press
[Enter]
to disconnect.
iv. Type
/S
[Enter]
to display the Status Screen. The "STATUS"
column should now list Ports 3 and 4 as "Free".
