The System Ports form provides a centralized means of associating logical names to each RS-232 port. The form also displays the baud rate and parity for each port.
Connect a local serial printer to the controller serial port for the printing of system data. Logs can be sent to the Mitel Log Viewer or printed, by redirecting LPR1, through the Controller Registry form.
When an attendant console is given a directory number in the IP Consoles form, two entries are created in this form, one for input and one for output.
Use this form when performing the following tasks:
The MXe Server does not support the use of a printer.
Maintenance panel and auxiliary ports are output only.

Parameter |
Description |
Default Value |
|
Location ID |
System-generated, protected field. Indicates the PLID. |
|
|
Device ID |
System-generated, protected field. Indicates the PLID of the RS-232 port. |
|
|
Channel |
System-generated, protected field. Indicates the channel used. |
|
|
Port |
System-generated, protected field. Indicates the system port used (1 or 2). |
|
|
Flow |
System-generated, protected field. Indicates the direction of data flow (input or output) for the device named in the Port Type field. |
|
|
Port Type |
System-generated, protected field. Indicates the device type to which the port is attached. |
|
|
Port Name |
Enter a logical name for the physical port. The first two port names cannot be changed. (LPR3 is not available.) If using LPR1, use the Controller Registry form to route LPR1 to the correct COM port. |
Blank |
|
Baud Rate |
System-generated, protected field. Indicates the operating speed of the port. The maximum programmable baud rate is 19200. The LPR1 port baud rate is set for 9600. Note that although it is possible to enter new baud rates via the command line, these changes do not actually take effect in the system. |
|
|
Parity |
System-generated, protected field. Indicates the character protocol the attached device is using. The first alphanumeric character is the number of data bits, the second is the parity, and the third is the number of stop bits. |
