Ports may be enabled or disabled depending on the state of the port monitor that controls them.

Serial (ttymon) Port States |
||
|
Enabled |
The ttymon port monitor sends a prompt message to the port and provides login service to it. |
|
Disabled |
Default state of all ports if ttymon is killed or disabled. If you specify this state, ttymon will send out the disabled message when it receives a connection request. |
Network (listen) Port States |
||
|
Enabled |
The listen port monitor scans the network for service requests and invokes services in response to those requests. |
|
Disabled |
If the listen port monitor is killed or disabled, the ports it controls are automatically disabled. If you specify this state, listen will send out the Disabled message when it receives a connection request. |
