Parallel Port Management Parameters

This group of parameters is used to manage parallel port in a virtual machine.

Syntax

prlctl set ID | VM_name --device-add parallel

{ --device name | --output file_name }

[ --enable | --disable ][ --connect | --disconnect ]

prlctl set ID | VM_name --device-set parallelN

{ --device name | --output file_name }

[ --enable | --disable ][ --connect | --disconnect ]

Parameters

Name	Description
`ID`	The virtual machine ID.
`name`	The virtual machine name.
`--device-add`	Adds a new parallel port to the virtual machine. You can connect up to three parallel ports to a virtual machine.
`--device-set`	Modifies the parameters of an existing virtual parallel port.
`parallel`	Specified the type of the virtual device to add (in this instance, a virtual parallel port).
`parallel` `N`	The name of the parallel port to modify. To obtain the list of ports, use the `prlctl list` command with the `--info` option.
`--device` `name`	The name of the physical parallel port to which to connect the virtual parallel port.
`--output` `file_name`	The name of the output file to which to connect the virtual parallel port.
`--enable`	Enables the specified parallel port. All newly added parallel ports are enabled by default (provided the `--disable` option was omitted during the port creation).
`--disable`	Disable the specified virtual parallel port. The port itself is not removed from the virtual machine configuration.
`--connect`	Automatically connect the specified virtual parallel port during the virtual machine startup process.
`--disconnect`	Do not automatically connect the specified virtual parallel port during the virtual machine startup process.
