Captures data pertaining to a particular port and writes it to a disk file.
Security level: 2.
Syntax
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.
