Ports Screen

You also must configure each of the Interface card's user interface ports. This is done from the
Ports Screen, which is shown in Figure 8-10
Card Main Screen (Ports command).
This screen shows the Protocol, Rate, Communications, and Handshaking control settings for
each port. The VT column lists the current settings for a VT100-compatible terminal
connected to the TERM modular jack on the Interface card faceplate. The C1 column is for an
external computer connection to the COMP (or COM1) DB-9 plug on the card. The M column
is for a modem connection from an INF+M card to a remote facility via a phone line.
The screen settings are described in the following paragraphs.
Note: There are two scenarios in Figure 8-10. The Typical INTF+M Ports Screen shown
above displays (VT - VT100 terminal, C1 - COM1, and M-Modem). However, if
INTF+E is used the screen will display (VT, C1, and C2 - COM2).
PROTOCOL
For the VT-100 terminal port (VT), the Protocol setting is always ui (user interface).
For the computer (C1) port, choose none, ui (user interface), pr (printer), slip (Serial Line
Interface Protocol), or ppp (Point-to-Point Protocol).
For the modem port, choose ui, ui-pr, or none.
