Glossary Modem Serial Port The upper serial port on the CP Card of the StorageWorks Core switch. Can be used to connect the CP Card to a modem with a standard 9-pin modem cable. Consists of a DB-9 connector wired as a RS-232 device, and can be connected by serial cable to a DCE device. A Hayes-compatible modem or Hayes-emulation is required. The device name is ttyS1. See also DB-9 connector, DCE port, terminal serial port. Monitoring State The state in which a port is monitoring the flow of information for data relevant to the port.
