Indicates the hardware connectivity for the port. This property is configured using MAX or the System Configuration property PHY State Configured. It is a ring of values, as described in the following table: Direct: The port is directly connected, such that frames received and transmitted on the port have no relationship to any other port on the XNET device. Input and output sessions are supported in Direct mode. Tap: This port is connected to another port on the XNET device using a Tap. The pair of connected ports are referred to as tap partners. A frame received on one Tap partner is immediately transmitted out the other tap partner, to mimic behavior of an Ethernet cable. Output sessions are not supported in Tap mode.
