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).

parallelN

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.
