SECURE SITE MANAGERS
76
To Connect ports, proceed as follows:
1. Access command mode via the Text Interface.
2. Invoke the /C command to connect the desired ports.
a) Resident Connect: To connect your resident port to another port, type
/C xx [Enter]. Where xx is the number or name of the port you
want to connect. The Secure Site Manager will display the numbers
of the connected ports, along with the command required in order to
disconnect the two ports.
Example: To connect your resident port to Port 8, type /C 8 [Enter].
b) Third Party Connect: (Supervisors Only) To connect any two ports
(other than your resident port), type /C xx XX [Enter]. Where xx
and XX are two port names or numbers. The Secure Site Manager will
display the numbers of the two connected ports.
Example: To connect Port 5 to Port 6, access command mode at a
third port that permits Supervisor commands (using an account that also
permits supervisor commands), and invoke the following command:
/C 5 6 [Enter].
Notes:
• Resident Connections: RS232 Ports are not allowed to initiate a
Resident Connection to the Network Port.
• Third Party Connections: RS232 Ports are not allowed to connect
another port to the network port. For example, Port 1 is not
allowed to connect Port 3 to the Network Port.
When the /C command specifies the port name, it is only necessary to enter enough
letters to differentiate the desired port from other ports. Type an asterisk (*) to
represent the remaining characters in the port name. For example, to connect your
resident port to a port named “SALES”, the connect command can be invoked as
/C S*, providing no other port names begin with the letter “S”.
