IBM 3151 terminals (multi-session?)

I use IBM 3151 terminals for my consoles. I noticed that there are 2 serial ports in the back of each terminal, which leads me to believe that they are multi session capable, and I can use a single terminal for 2 different machines. Unfortunately, I do not know how to switch between sessions. I would think there is a hotkey-like combination which would do it, but I have yet to figure it out. Any ideas? [sig][/sig]
 
You can use the second serial port in back of the terminal to connect a dependent serial device (like a serial printer) but you can`t use it to double-connect the tty to a server.

I hope it works... [sig][/sig]
