Port Allocation

The Port allocation screen is a view-only screen. It allows you to view
a list of ports on the system and identifies the partition to which they
are allocated. To change the port allocations, you must access the Port
Configuration screen (described in Chapter 7).

Constraints

Port console is configured as a console device, and port contty is al-
ways configured as a dialup maintenance device for system mainte-
nance. You cannot change these port assignments. These ports, along
with the Maintenance printer, belong to the base partition.
Ports contty02 and contty03 are located on the main processor board.
Configuring devices on these ports requires more processor time than
if you use the other available ports. If you use these ports to connect
an ASCII (dumb) terminal, you need to use line drivers or null mo-
dems.
These ports are not recommended for Windows
Note:
PCs.
Port lp0 is the parallel printer port located on the processor board.
There are no modem or baud rate fields associated with this port.
