Logic vs wire in black box port list

In reply to dave_59:

Thanks Dave,
That’s indeed clarify things. Here again I had a miss-assumption that I’m pointing to the port itself and not to the wire that driven by it. Following that I wonder, what is the xmr of the port? Can I change the way I connect the interface in a way that will override the variable assignment?
My motivation is that in many cases such black box dut is provided as part of a release that I can’t easily change.
Again thank a lot
