external serial modem must be connected in order for this function to work properly.

Use Default TCP Port 5000:
YES (default): Utilizes the default port 5000.
NO: Enter an alternate port number.
Note: In order to access USTIP from beyond a firewall, your firewall settings must enable two-
way communication through the default port 5000, or the non-default port configured above.
User Station Options
Select [U] User Station Options on the Configuration Menu to configure the User Station. In the
User Station Configuration screen, use the Å and Æ arrows on your keyboard to set Port
Priority to favor None, Remote, or Local users.
On the P2-USTIP1 model,
If you set Port Priority to Remote, a Remote user will be prompted to terminate the Local
user session when attempting to connect to the same USTIP unit.
If you set Port Priority to Local, a Local user automatically terminates a Remote user session
when attempting to connect to the same USTIP unit.
If you set Port Priority to None, there is no capability to automatically terminate a user
session. Instead, the first user to connect to a port, regardless of Remote or Local status,
maintains access to that port until that user terminates the session. Other users attempting to
connect will be notified that the port is busy.
Figure 15 USTIP UserStation Configuration Screen
On the P2-USTIP2 model, two ports are available for connection. The second port will always be
used before the first port, leaving the first free until another user attempts to connect.
If you set Port Priority to Remote, the first Remote user connects to port 2, and if a second
Remote user attempts to connect and there is a Local user on port 1, the second Remote user
is prompted to terminate the Local user’s session.
If you set Port Priority to Local, a Local user automatically terminates a Remote user session
(if Remote users are on both ports, the second port connection is terminated).
