CONNECT

Description: Activates the Gateway port.
Command Level: 4
Syntax: CONNECT
Comments: Allows the LMS1000 to emulate a "dumb" RS-232 asynchronous terminal
interface. When activated, user input through either a local or remote LMS1000 port is
directed to the customer equipment connected to the LMS1000 Gateway port. To exit
and return to the LMS1000 command prompt, press CTRL-C twice. The second CTRL-C
must follow the first within a one second time interval.
Notes: User must be familiar with the command set and operation of the customer
equipment connected to the LMS1000 Gateway port.
Possible data loss may occur if the LMS1000 Gateway port data rate does not match that
of the local or remote terminal being used to access the customer equipment via
LMS1000.
The LMS1000 alarm reports will not be processed while the Gateway feature is active
and a remote terminal is being used.
In normal LMS1000 command mode operation, the LMS1000 echoes characters back to
the user's terminal. This is not done in the Gateway mode, and must be a function
(echoing) of the customer equipment connected to the LMS1000 Gateway port.
This program is automatically exited and the User is returned to the LMS1000 command
prompt if the user timeout period is exceed. If user timeout occurs during a remote
communication session, the communication link is automatically terminated.
Related Commands: SET GATEWAY
