switched to any of eight RS-232 devices, designated A through H. Typically the 8P-MAS is used to

allow one modem to access the configuration or out-of-band management ports of eight remote devices

(see Figure 1A). Three modes of operation allow the selection of the port to be connected.

The 8P-MAS selects the port to connect to the master port based on menu selections.

The menu system allows convenient naming of each port, and setup of all 8P-MAS

parameters.

Lead Control

This option allows any of the eight ports to access the master port by raising its

Request To Send (RTS) or Data Terminal Ready (DTR) control lead. This capability is

in addition to the menu selection as described above.

Manual Control

A front panel push-button allows local control of port selection.

There are eight LED's on the front of the 8P-MAS to indicate which port is connected to the master.

There are eight DB25S female connectors on the rear panel for the switched ports, (designated A-H)

and one DB25P male connector for the Master Port. Figure 1 illustrates a typical system using the 8P-
