PF8-Forward will display information for other ports (in a different format).

Characteristics of an attached device, for combination type devices such as a display with
attached printer, may be displayed by pressing the PF4 key.

This panel may also be called to display a different port’s device statistics other than the port
you are on. This is accomplished by indicating which port you wish to display when the test
number is initially invoked. For example, at the Select Item prompt, typing “1,MCC1.007”
will display the terminal test for the device attached on port 007 of the MCC1 card. The
device has to be powered up to get useful information about it. You may also display similar
information for network devices connecting via Telnet by indicating the NDD port number
associated with the connection. For example, typing ‘1,FET1.000’ will display the
characteristics for a Telnet device that connected through network card FET1, and is assigned
to port ‘000’.
