Input/output port assignments
There are eight ports available for various peripheral devices, but three of
them are configured for a specific peripheral. Port 1 is configured for the
Console Port; Port 2 is configured for the Diagnostic Modem; and Port 8 is
configured for the High-Speed Link. The remaining peripherals can be
configured on any of Ports 3 to 7.
Note: The Configuration Control feature uses a Load Management
Link that is also referred to as a Configuration Control Link.
Table 4-11 provides you with a chart which lists all of the assignable ports
and shows the type of device which can be connected to each port. As you
decide upon the device to connect to each port, enter the device name in the
space provided. If you are assigning a Supervisor Workstation, Remote
Login, or Network Link, you must specify the type of connection: Direct,
Dial-up at 2400 baud, or Dial-up at 9600 baud. This information will be
requested during the software installation.
Please note the following abbreviations:
• LML (Load Management Link)
• NL [Network Link (NetLink)]
• PRT (Printer)
• SW (Supervisor Workstation)
Please note the following abbreviations for Connection Type:
• DC (Direct Connection)
• 24 (Dial-up connection at 2400 baud)
• 96 (Dial-up connection at 9600 baud)
• 96S (Serial connection at 9600 baud)
• 192S (Serial connection at 19 200 baud)
Note: The “Connection type” column in the following table lists all of
the possible connections. Some connection types cannot be applied to
some available devices. For example, the only connection type possible
for a printer is direct connection. Ensure that you do not select an
inappropriate connection type.
