You can use the Identify Port option to identify which physical port is referenced by this port name. The remote access software will toggle the port's DTR signal, which causes the TR or DTR light on the attached modem to blink. You cannot use this option if the port is in use.
You can use this option to quickly find the modem attached to a port. For example, if users report that they are having trouble dialing in to a certain port and you suspect a problem with the modem, use the Identify Port option to determine which modem to replace without having to trace cables.
You can also use the Identify Port option to find out the name of the port that a particular modem is attached to. Select the ports in sequence and request the Identify Port option until the modem in question blinks.
To use this feature, load NIASCFG and follow this path:
Select View Status for NIAS > Remote Access > Display Port Status
Select the port you want to identify, press Enter, then select Identify Port from the Port Operations menu.
