• The
Direction
box determines whether the port transmits and/or
receives data.
The
outgoing
and
incoming
buttons allow the port to use outgoing
or incoming connections. You can select
outgoing , incoming
, or
both. These buttons, combined with your selections in the
Type
box, determine the
Mode
box options you can use. When an
option is unavailable, it appears in gray: you cannot select such
options.
