Q
PS: Select Port
Use this command to select the Slave Port you wish to use.
• Type PSnn[Enter], where nn is the two-digit number of the Slave Port (01–16):
• For example: PS04[Enter] selects Slave Port 4.
• To begin using the Slave Port you must put the Multiplexor in Throughput Mode with either the
GT command (Section 3.10) or the PT command (see below).
Q
PT: Select Port & Go to Throughput Mode
Use this command to access one of the Substation Multiplexor’s 16 Slave ports and put the unit into
Throughput Mode so data transmission may begin. This command combines the PS and GT
commands.
• Type PTnn[Enter], where nn is the two-digit number of the Slave Port you wish to access. The
Substation Multiplexor will select this port and then go to Throughput Mode, allowing
communication between the computer and the device connected to the port.
• For example: PT04[Enter] selects Slave Port 4 and puts the Substation Multiplexor in
Throughput Mode.
Q
PD: Select Start-up Port
Use this command to select a Default Slave Port. When the unit is powered up or reset, the current
slave port connection will go to this default port. Use the HU command to check current default
settings.
• For example, PD03 would select Port 3 as the default port.
