other host.

host

may be a dotted IP address or a host name to be resolved by a domain name server

Change Port Interface Command

Use this command to change the electrical interface for ports on a RS232/Current-Loop

Port module:

RS232

specifies RS232.

specifies 20 milliampere current loop.

Telnet host [ tcp-port ]

Note. Unlike the Connect command, the Telnet command does not use the host information

configured on the Adv. Line tab in the RAS Management Tool or by the Change Port Preferred

command.

Note. More useful CLI commands are described in Common CLI Commands

on page C-20.

Change Port [port-list] Interface RS232|CL

Note. Current Loop requires different cabling from RS-232, and the connected device

must match the interface setting.

The Change Port Interface command is only allowed on port modules that allow both

RS-232 and Current Loop.
