Name
Purpose
Assigns a unique name to each port.
Applies To
All port types.
Possible Values
Each name can be up to 8 characters in length. The
first character cannot be a number. You can use any
ASCII keyboard character in the name except
comma (“,”), asterisk (“*”), slash (“/”), question
mark (“?”), carriage return (“Enter”), escape (“ESC”),
and “at sign” (“@”, the command-start character).
Usage Notes
By default, ports 4, 8, and 12 are assigned the names
PRINTERA, PRINTERB, and PRINTERC; the other
ports are named P01 through P11. You can change
any of these. You might want to assign names based on
whether a user or peripheral is connected (for
instance, USER1 or PLOTTER2). It is advisable to
group similar peripherals with similar names to allow
easy selection with wild-card characters, if required.
For example, you can select the first available of
MODEM_A or MODEM_B with MODEM_?. No
name can be used more than once.
Type
Purpose
Determines the direction of data through each port.

Parallel Output Ports: P-Out
Serial Bidirectional Ports: S-BDir
Serial Output Ports: S-Out
By default, ports 4, 8, and 12, whether serial or
parallel, are defined as
output
ports; all other parallel
ports are defined as
input
ports; and all other serial
ports are defined as
bidirectional
ports.
