Operation

To disconnect ports, proceed as follows:
1. Resident Disconnect: Disconnects your resident port from another

port. For example, if you are communicating via Port 3, and Port 3 is

connected to Port 4, a Resident Disconnect would be used to disassociate

the two ports. The APS-8/16M offers two different Resident Disconnect

command formats; the One Character Format and the Three Character

Format (for more information, please refer to Section 5.5.3.):
a) One Character (Default): When the One Character Disconnect

Sequence is selected, simply enter the selected Logoff Character

once (Default =

^X ([Ctrl] plus [X])). Note that it is not necessary

to enter a carriage return before or after the Logoff Character.

b) Three Characters: Uses the format [Enter]

LLL[Enter], where

L is the Logoff Character. For example, if the Logoff Character

is "

+", then the three character disconnect sequence would be

[Enter]

+++[Enter].

c) If the default Resident Disconnect Sequence is not compatible with

your application, both the command format and Logoff Character

can be redefined via the Port Configuration menus, as described in

Section 5.5.3.

2. Third Party Disconnect: (Supervisor Mode Only) The /D command is

issued from your resident port to disconnect two third party ports. For

example, if your Resident Port is Port 1, a Third Party Disconnect could

disconnect Port 3 from Port 4.
a) The /D command uses the format:

/D xx XX [Enter], where xx

and

XX are the numbers of the ports that you wish to disconnect.

b) The /D (Disconnect) command can only be invoked by a port that

permits Supervisor Mode.

c) The /D command can specify both connected ports, or either of the

two ports. For example, if Port 1 is your resident port, any of the

following commands can be used to disconnect Port 3 from Port 4:

/D 3 4 [Enter]

or

/D 3 [Enter]

or

/D 4 [Enter]
