Field

Description

Port

Port to be used by the marquee driver.

The port must be an existing communications port on your computer (for example, COM1 or COM2), or it can be a logical name to be associated with a terminal server port (for example, PORT1 or PORT2).

Note: See Configuring Network Marquees for detailed information on how to do this.

You cannot configure two marquee ports with the same port ID. If you attempt to do this, you will receive an error message in a popup window.

Service ID

Service ID for the marquee driver process.

For physical ports on your computer, one process may control more than one port, but you should usually configure one process per port. For terminal server ports, one process may only control one port.

It is suggested that you maintain the default prefix of MQRP_ for the service ID of all marquee driver ports.
