Hot Key Method

This method enables the user to select any Smart Switch port by

pressing a predefined sequence of keys at the same time after the

Command Line Method

This method enables the user to select any Smart Switch port

through the command line. To specify a Smart Switch port through

the command line, you would type

SSTSR

followed by the

command symbol and the letter of the port.

Example:

To change to Smart Switch port '"C" you would type

SSTSR XC

at the Dos prompt and press the

ENTER

key.

Before a Smart Switch port is changed, a check is made to

determine if the port is busy transmitting. If the port is busy the

STSR will generate a tone to notify you that the port is busy and that

a port change cannot be made.

CAUTION: If the software package you are using for

transmission is running at a fast baud rate (57600), the

SSTSR may not detect the Smart Switch port as busy and the

transmission could be interrupted.

The SSTSR does not detect when the Smart Switch port is

receiving data. Therefore, if data is being received, the Smart Switch

port may still be changed.
