When a port on the terminal concentrator is busy, you can reset the port to disconnect its user. This procedure is useful if you need to perform an administrative task on the busy port.
A busy port returns the following message when you try to connect to the terminal concentrator.
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
If you use the port selector, you might see a port busy message. See How to Correct a Port Configuration Access Error for details on the port busy message.
