Displaying Port Signals

●RLP – is always 0, except for a remote control, file transfer, or alarm connection, in which case this number is always 253.

●P – is the port number ( 0-7are physical ports, 8–63are logical ports), unless RLP is 253, in which case: 66 = Remote control, 67 = File transfer, 68 = Alarm con- nection.

This display lists basic configuration and line status for all serial ports, as well as signal states (on/off) at the physical interfaces.

Press [D] at the Status Displays Menu. When prompted for an RLP number, press [Enter], accepting the default (and only valid value) of 0.
