6.7. Operating Tips

When connecting to the RPC via network, modem or console

port, the following factors should be kept in mind:

1. One Connection at a Time: Only one port can access the

command mode at a time. Therefore, it is recommended

that users should always disconnect using the /X command

when finished communicating with the unit. When a

command port is busy, the RPC will react as follows:
a) Network Port Busy: If a second user attempts to

connect via the Modem Port, the RPC will send a busy

message. If a second user attempts to connect via the

Console Port, the port will not wake.

b) Modem Port Busy: If a second user attempts to

connect via the Network Port, the connection will be

refused. If a second user attempts to connect via the

Console Port, the port will not wake.

c) Console Port Busy: If a second user attempts to

connect via the Network Port, the connection will be

refused. If a second user attempts to connect via the

Modem Port, the Console Port will disconnect and the

Modem Port will be granted access; the Modem Port

has priority over the Console Port.

2. Ping Packet Size: The RPC will not accept Ping Packets

larger than approximately 1000 bytes.

If you have any questions regarding configuration or operation of

the RPC-4840N, please contact WTI Technical Support as

described in Appendix C.
