Description: The ability of the port to initiate and accept connections. o slave(1) indicates that the port can only accept connections. If it is busy, it will reject a connection request. o terminal(2) indicates that this port can only initiate connections. o permckt(3) indicates that this port initiates and automatically maintains connections. o both(4) means this port can both accept and initiate connections. o demandckt(5) indicates the same status as permckt except that you must first press a key on the keyboard to activate the port. o queue(6) means this port accepts and holds connections. It will act like a slave port, except that instead of rejecting a request when it is busy, it stores the request until a resource becomes available.
