PO[RT] dtcnum,cardnum,portnum

Parameters

dtcnum: Number of the DTC to which the device is connected. This is the number TermDSM associates with this DTC.
cardnum: Number of the interface card within the DTC to which the device is connected. The cards are numbered from zero beginning at the bottom of the DTC.
portnum: Number of the port on the interface card. As you face the back of the DTC, the ports are numbered from zero beginning at the left of the board.

Description

Information associated with the port is dumped to a disk file. If the port is also associated with an ldev number, information pertaining to the ldev number is dumped. If you have identified a terminal problem and dump information using the PORT subcommand, complete information about the terminal connection is dumped; there is no need to also use the ldev subcommand.




	NOTE: Dumping information pertaining to a port does not reset (or otherwise affect) the associated device. If you need to reset the device, use the RESET command.

When the dump is complete, the following information will be displayed:

The dump file is TRMdddll.PUB.SYS

where ddd is the Julian day of the year and ll is a two-character string in the range:

AA, AB, AC, ..., BA, BB, BC, ..., ZZ

This numbering system allows you to create many dump files in one day and to later know on what day each dump was created by simply looking at the file name.
