Reason for Two Serial Ports
A typical application uses serial port 10 to send and receive data to and from a
DUT and uses serial port 9 to print or log test results to a serial printer or PC.

communicate with the external PC or terminal, and serial port 10 can be
connected to a serial printer for generating program listings or as the destination
printer for the program itself. If simultaneous multiple serial I/O is not a
requirement then only use serial port 9 as it can directly access the
