COMPORT STATUS. Describes the ENABLE /DISABLE status of indexed comport. DISABLE means no communications to devices over this communications port. A user must DISABLE the comport. This can be done from the STATION STATUS Display or %DCOMST. RED FLASHING Enable means that there was a communications failure on the comport; the SCADA node will retry to establish communications if ENABLED. BLUE ENABLE means communications enabled and no critical error. An asterisk (*) means comport not configured.
