Optional field which names the printer port. You
may enter up to 16 characters or an IP address. For routable back-to-back
environments, field must contain a valid IP address for the printer
port in the format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
- Number of hosts sharing printer
Specifies the number of hosts that can share the
printer. If the port is being accessed by one system, and a second
system attempts to access the port, the second system will be put
in a queue and will be allowed to access the port when the first
system is done. If more than the specified number of hosts attempt
to access the port, the spooler will be stopped on error on the
systems that exceeds the limit. The maximum allowed is 5
hosts and the default value is 1.

Specifies whether communication can be established
to the port. Enter an N to disable
the port. The default is Y.
If disabled, no connections can be established to the port.
- Dedicated printer?
Specifies whether the printer can be accessed by
a single system or multiple systems. If enabled, the printer can
only be accessed by the host specified in the "Default destination"
field. You must enter a valid host name in the "Default destination"
field if the "Dedicated printer?"
field is enabled. Enter an N to
allow the printer to be shared by more than one system. The default
is Y.
- Automatic connection?
Specifies whether a connection is automatically
established to the system specified in the "Default destination"
field. If enabled, the DTC senses the modem signal's rise and automatically
connects the device to the value of "Default destination".
Field is valid for modem ports only ("Modem behavior"
field on Printer Profile screen must be set to 1,
2, or 3).
- Enable keep alive?
Specifies whether "keep alive"
mechanism is to be activated. When there is no data transfer between
the DTC and system, then the "keep alive" mechanism
is used to detect if the connection is still there. The default
value is Y (enable). Enter and
N to disable the field. Not applicable
for DTC 48 without the memory extension.
- Save port config in binary?
Specifies whether the port configuration parameters
data length and parity settings will be maintained when a binary
mode is selected. If set to Y,
then the port configuration remains unchanged when binary mode is
selected. If set to N, then the
data length is set to 8 and parity
is set to none when binary mode
is selected. The default is N.
Supported on DTC 16iX/DTC 16MX and DTC 72MX
only.
- Default destination
This field specifies the system to which the printer
is dedicated if "Dedicated printer"
is enabled, or to which the printer will connect when automatic

is set to Y or if "Automatic Conneciton"
is set to Y. Field can be a node
name in the format name.domain.organization
or an IP address in the format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.
Default is the entry in the field "Local HP 3000 node name"
on the Main screen.
