7.3. The Port Diagnostics Screen (/SD)
The Port Diagnostics Screen provides more detailed information about each
port. To display the Port Diagnostics Screen (Figure 7.3), access the Text
Interface command mode and type /SD [Enter].
Note that the screen format will vary, depending upon whether your password
permits or denies access to Supervisor commands. If the password entered at
login does not allow Supervisor commands, then the Port Diagnostics Screen
will only display the status of the ports allowed by that password. The Port
Diagnostics Screen lists the following items:
• Port: The Port Number.
• Name: The user-defined name for each port.
• Status: The connect status for each port.
■ When the port is connected, this column will list the number of the
other port connected to this port. If the column contains an asterisk,
this indicates the port has accessed command mode.
■ If the connected port is listed as "N-xx" (where "xx" is a number), this
indicates that the RS232 port is connected to the Network port. The
numbers indicate which of the available Telnet sessions is being used.
• Baud: The baud rate selected for each port.
• COM: The Data Bits, Parity, and Stop Bits selected for each port. For
example, "8N1" indicates Eight data bits, No parity, and One stop bit.
• HS: The handshaking (flow control) mode for each port.
• Mode: The user-selected Port Mode.
• BUF: The amount of data (in bytes) stored in the buffer for this port.
• CTS: The High/Low status of the CTS line at the RS232 interface.
