To Connect ports, proceed as follows:
1. Access the Command Mode as described in Section 5.1. If
the Password Prompt is displayed, enter your Supervisor
Password or Port Password.
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
APS will display the numbers of the connected ports,
along with the command sequence that will be 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: (Supervisor Mode 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 APS will display the
numbers of the two connected ports.
Example: To connect Port 5 to Port 6, invoke the
following command at a port with Supervisor Level
command capability: /C56[Enter].
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".
