PortMaster Port Status
Status Description
IDLE The port is not in use.
USERNAME The data carrier detect (DCD) signal has been asserted and
observed on the port.
• On older PortMaster expansion cards (ports S10 through
S29) and system cards (ports S0 through S9), DCD floats
high when nothing is attached to the port.
• On newer cards, in two-way and device environments,
DCD is high when the device is busy. When terminals are
attached to the device port and modem control is set to
off, USERNAME status indicates that the login: prompt
has been sent to the port and should be displayed on the
terminal. The PortMaster is waiting for a login request.
HOSTNAME The host: prompt has been sent to the port. The PortMaster
is waiting for a reply.
PASSWORD The Password: prompt has been sent to the port. The
PortMaster is waiting for a reply.
CONNECTING A network connection is attempting to become established
on the port.

DISCONNECTING The connection has just ended, and the port is returning to
the IDLE state.
INITIALIZING The modem attached to the port is being initialized by the
modem table.
