Creating And Configuring TTY's in AIX Creating And Configuring TTY's in AIX Use this procedure to create and configure TTY devices in AIX.
The procedure for creating and configuring TTY devices for Digi
serial ports is similar to the procedure used to create standard
AIX TTY devices. For complete information, refer to your AIX
documentation.
Note: The Digi device must be added (see Adding a Digi Device Using
smit) either in the "Defined" or "Available" state before
attempting to configure TTYs attached to that device.
Procedure
Repeat this procedure for each TTY device.
- Log onto the system as super-user (root).
- Enter this command:
smit mktty
The Add a TTY menu appears.
- Choose Add a TTY.
A list of TTY types appears.
- From the list, choose tty rs232 Asynchronous Terminal.
A list of sa devices appears.
- Choose the item that identifies the Digi device (it will be
similar to: sa3 Available Digi PortServer II 16).
A dialog panel appears with fields to configure the port.
- Configure the fields as necessary. The only required entry is
the PORT number field.
- If the Data Carrier Detect signal is not wired between the port
and the peripheral device attached to it, set Force Carrier to
enable.
- Choose Enter to complete the TTY addition.
The name of the TTY that was created is displayed when smit
command processing has completed.
