Disabling Gateway Ports
For some gateways, ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) gives you the option to
disable one or more ports if you do not need them. Disabling ports can simplify
the number of configuration options, making it easier to set up the gateway.
It is easiest to disable ports when you add the gateway to the project in PCB;
however, you can enable and disable ports after you have added it to the project.
Both methods are described in this topic.
Note: Disabling ports does not affect the performance of the gateway and is not required.
