Hunt Group port names must be unique. Otherwise, ports with
similar names will also be included in the Hunt Group.
Hunt Group Example 1:
1. Ports 1 and 2 are configured as Modem Mode ports, and
external modems are installed at both ports. Port 1 is
named "MODEM1" and Port 2 is named "MODEM2".
2. Your resident port is Port 4. To connect to the first
available external Modem, access the Command Mode and
type /C MODEM* [Enter].
Hunt Group Example 2:
1. Ports 3, 4, and 5 are Any-to-Any Mode ports. All three
ports are named "SERVER".
2. Your resident port is Port 1, and you want to connect Port 2
to the first available server, access the Command Mode and
type /C 2 SERVER [Enter].
8.2. Passive Mode
Passive Mode Ports function the same as Any-to-Any Mode
Ports, but do not allow access to Command Mode. A Passive
Mode Port can communicate with other ports, but cannot enter
Command Mode, and therefore cannot invoke commands to
redefine port parameters, display status, and etc.
Passive Mode Ports can be connected by accessing the Command
Mode from a free Any-to-Any Mode or Modem Mode Port, and
invoking the Third Party Connect or Resident Connect Command
as described in Section 8.1.1. Passive Mode ports will not buffer
data, except during baud rate conversion.
Notes:
·
A Passive Mode Port is not allowed to access the
Command Mode.
·
In order to ensure supervisor access to important
command functions, the Passive Mode is not
available to Ports 1 and 2 (SetUp Ports).
·
Port 8 (Internal Modem Port) cannot be configured
as a Passive Mode Port.
