Description

When this subcommand is entered, a large amount of information related to the port is printed on the terminal.

The following is a brief explanation of key fields displayed on the terminal:

  • Revision Number. Provides version number of SIC hardware and software.

  • Current Host Name. If a connection is active, and it was initiated by the terminal, then this is the name of the host to which the port is connected. Otherwise, this field is blank.

  • Port Type. The type of DTC connector card attached to the port.

  • Connection State. The status of the connection between the port and the MPE/iX system. Possible values are:

    • Disconnected. Port is not in use; no MPE/iX session is active on this port.

    • Connect from AFCP Pending. MPE/iX has requested and is awaiting a connection to this port.

    • Connect from DIODAM Pending. Device has requested and is awaiting a connection to the MPE/iX.

    • Connected. The port is connected to an MPE/iX system.

    • Disconnect from AFCP Pending. MPE/iX has requested and is awaiting disconnection from the port.

    • Disconnect from DIODAM Pending. Device has requested and is awaiting disconnection from MPE/iX.

    • Bad. The port has failed its selftest, or this is a non-existent port on the SIC.

The remaining fields contain detailed diagnostics information for use by HP support representatives. Further explanation of these fields is beyond the scope of this manual.
