DTC, the ports are numbered from zero beginning at the left of the board.

Description 

Information associated with the port is dumped to a disc 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 TRM dddll.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. Example (dump) Ldev # POrt #,#,# DTc # (carriage return to exit) ?PO 1,0,2 The dump file is TRM112AG.PUB.SYS (dump) Ldev #} POrt #,#,# DTc # (carriage return to exit) ? The dump information for the port whose address is DTC 1, card 0, port 2 is placed in the file TRM112AG.PUB.SYS.
