CMS-6R4 Series - User’s Guide
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 3 and 4 are Modem Mode ports, and external modems are installed
at both ports. Port 3 is named "MODEM1" and Port 4 is named
"MODEM2".
2. Your resident port is Port 1. 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. If you want to connect Port 2 to the first
available server, access the Command Mode and type /C 2 SERVER
[Enter].
6.3 Port Modes
6.3.1. Any-to-Any Mode
Any-to-Any Mode Ports can be connected to other Any-to-Any, Passive,
Buffer, or Modem Mode ports by accessing command mode via the Text
Interface and issuing the /C Command. The Any-to-Any Mode is the default
port mode at Ports 1 through 6.
6.3.2. 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 redefine
parameters, display status, connect ports or control power outlets.
Passive Mode Ports can be connected by accessing command mode from a free
Any-to-Any or Modem Mode Port, and invoking the Third Party Connect or
Resident Connect Command as described in Section 6.2.3.2. Passive Mode
ports will not buffer data, except during baud rate conversion.
Note: In order to ensure access to command mode functions, the
Passive Mode is not available at Ports 1 or 2 (the SetUp Ports) or at
Port 7 (the Internal Modem Port.)
