If configured for ASCII, only one ASCII device may be used for the carrier. (If
two COM ports are configured for ASCII, neither will work.)

If configured for Mgmt, each device in the carrier can support an Mgmt COM
port; however, each Mgmt COM port must be connected to a different subnet.
To facilitate IP data routing, the device with the closest link to the SNMP
manager or Telnet client should be configured as the IP Bus Master.
T
If configured for either ASCII or Mgmt, the carrier COM port may be configured
to control an external device (e.g., modem, x.25 PAD) through the use of AT or
user-specified commands.
The set of valid characters for control of the carrier external COM port device is as
follows:
