Parameters 

 dtcnum 

The number TermDSM associates with a particular DTC. The DTC command
lists each DTC with its assigned number.  This list is also printed when
you make a mistake while typing in a DTC number.

 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.

Range:           0 - 5

 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.

Range:           0 - 7 for direct connections.

                 0 - 5 for modem connections.

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:

 *  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.
    Possible values are:

     *  RS-232-C Direct

     *  RS-422 Direct

     *  Modem

 *  Connection State.  The status of the connection between the port and
    the MPE XL system.  Possible values are:

     *  Disconnected.  Port is not in use; no MPE XL session is active on
        this port.

     *  Connect from AFCP Pending.  MPE XL 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 XL.

     *  Connected.  The port is connected to an MPE XL system.

     *  Disconnect from AFCP Pending.  MPE XL has requested and is
        awaiting disconnection from the port.

     *  Disconnect from DIODAM Pending.  Device has requested and is
        awaiting disconnection from MPE XL.

     *  Bad.  The port has failed its selftest, or this is a non-existant
        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.
