Use this screen to configure the ports in the specified card. On this screen, logical device
(ldev) numbers and profile names are associated with individual ports on the card.

1. Verify that the DTC name and card number displayed are correct.
2. (Optional) Enter the port group type. The valid types are D for direct connect and M
for modem connect. The default is D.
3. Press the
[Tab]
key to move the cursor to the first port on the card. Enter an ldev
number for this port in the “Ldev” field.
Ldev numbers used for each port on the DTC must be unique.
For example, you can use ldev number 100 for port 0 of the first card, and increment
the ldev number by 1 for each consecutive port.
So a DTC 72MX with 3 asynchronous cards (a total of 72 ports) would be assigned
ldev numbers 100 through 123 for the 24 ports on the first card, 124 through 147 for
the ports on the second card and 148 through 171 for the ports on the third card.
For the second DTC, you would start with an ldev number greater than 171.
To configure a non-nailed port, leave the ldev number 0 and Profile name blank. You
may also configure a non-nailed port by entering the ldev number -1 a specifying a
profile. You must also then configure a TERMINAL or HOST profile type in the
Profile Name field. The DTC port will be configured with the parameters in the
specified profile.
