and then for an available port in the secondary

class.

The following steps are used to make a class

connection.

1. At the ENTER CLASS prompt, enter the class

name to which you wish to connect.

2. The class password prompt will appear on the

screen. Enter the password. Press <cr>.

3. If the port is not available, the screen will

display one of the following messages:

Waiting Q=n. The ports for the class are

already connected to other users, and you are

in queue position n. Refer to Section 10.10 for

information on how to obtain updated queue

information or how to remove the port from

the queue.

Unavailable. The resource exists, but is not

in service (not operational).

Unassigned. The class is unknown in the

network. It could also mean that a password

for the class may be incorrect.

4. A class message, if configured, will appear on

the screen if the called port belongs to a class.

5. A connection message will appear on the

screen when the connection is complete across

the link.

To disconnect from a class connection, press the

<break> key three times within six seconds. When

the connection is broken, the disconnect message

will be displayed on the screen of the calling port.

ODE/CLASS CONNECTION

After the initial steps are completed, you can

request a class connection on a selected node. The

Multiserver will search to determine if the node is

the local or remote hub group. If local, it will

search for an available port in the primary class and

then for the secondary class. If there are no ports

available, the Multiserver will place the call in

queue for any busy primary ports or for the

secondary class if there are no busy primary ports.

The following steps are used to make a node/class

connection.

1. At the ENTER CLASS prompt, enter the

node/class name to which you wish to connect.

Note: When entering the node name, enter

the name of the Multiserver node (i.e.,

Multiserver node ID/class name). All ports

configured for a class in that Multiserver hub

group will be included in the search.

2. The CLASS PASSWORD prompt will appear

on the screen. Enter the password.

3. If the port is not available, the screen will

display one of the following messages:

Waiting Q=n. The ports for the class are

already connected to other users, and you are

in queue position n. Refer to Section 10.10 for

information on how to obtain updated queue

information or how to remove the port from

the queue.

Unavailable. The resource exists, but is not

in service (not operational).

Unassigned. The class is unknown in the

network. It could also mean that a password

for the class may be incorrect.

4. A class message, if configured, will appear on

the screen if the called port belongs to a class.

5. A connection message will appear on the

screen when the connection is complete across

the link.

To disconnect from a node/class connection, press

the <break> key three times within six seconds.

When the connection is broken, the disconnect

message will be displayed on the screen of the

calling port.

ATRIX CONNECTION

After the initial steps have been completed, any

async port, which is not configured as a force

connect or fixed destination, can attempt to

connect to another async port by its node/channel

number. The following steps are used to make the

matrix connection:

1. At the ENTER CLASS prompt, enter the full

node ID/channel number (or a range of port

numbers) of the port to which you wish to

connect.
