Terminal and printer port parameter definitions
Terminal/Printer
Enter up to 16 alphanumeric characters or an IP address in this field. The characters
Name or IP Address
can include hyphens (-) and underscores (_). The first character must be alphabetic.
This is an optional field that has no value by default.
By entering a name or IP address, you are naming or labeling the port, not the device
attached to it. If you disconnect the device and connect it to another port, the device
is associated with the name or IP address of the other port. If you want the device to
retain its name or IP address, you must reconfigure the ports accordingly.
Some key points to consider about using a port IP address:

Line Speed
Set the line speed to correspond to the line speed of the attached device. To select a
line speed, press the Help (F1) function key and a list is displayed. Line speed
choices are 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, and 38400 bits per second.
Highlight your choice and press Return or the Select Item (F4) function key.
The line speed default is 9600 baud. The 38400 bits per second speed applies only to
the DTC 16TN and DTC 72MX.
The port IP address must be on the same subnet as the DTCs IP address.
If there is a port IP address for outgoing connections, it is used as the calling
address.
If there is no IP address for the port, the DTCs IP address is used.
You cannot use same port IP address for more than one DTC pooled port. Be
careful about the IP address when you copy and paste boards.
The per port IP address feature can be used with the Telnet port identification
feature and the DTC Device File Access Utilities (DDFA). The port IP address
can be associated with a specific pty device file name. Together, these features
can be used to provide a pool of ports or identify a specific printer port to the
HP-UX spooler. DDFA is part of Internet Services. Refer to the DDFA
documentation for more information.
