Use the information on this page to determine which device to
use for a particular Digi port.
During the driver installation, Digi devices are created in the
/dev directory. There are two device types: dial-in and dial-out.
The table below shows the device naming conventions for EtherLite
and SCSI Terminal Server.

Device Information
|
|
Dial-in:
EtherLite
|
ttynyz
|
- tty is constant.
- n is constant, and always lowercase for dial-in
connections.
- y is the unit number, which is the numerical identifier
assigned, beginning with zero, to each EtherLite unit as it is
installed.
- z is the port number. Use 0-9 for ports 1-10; use a-v
for ports 11-32.
- A ttynyz device is usually a dial-in device. These
devices wait for the carrier signal before opening.
Example: ttyn23 is the fourth port on the third
EtherLite unit.
|
|
Dial-out:
EtherLite
|
ttyNyz
|
- tty is constant.
- N is constant, and always uppercase for Dial-out
connections.
- y is the unit number, which is the numerical identifier
assigned, beginning with zero, to each EtherLite unit as it is
installed.
- z is the port number. Use 0-9 for ports 1-10; use a-v
for ports 11-32.
- A ttyNyz device is usually a dial-out device. These
devices do not wait for the carrier signal before
opening.
Example: ttyN23 is the fourth port on the third
EtherLite unit.
|
|
Dial-in:
SCSI Terminal Server
|
ttyxyz
|
- tty is constant.
- x is a lowercase letter from c-j, which identifies the
SCSI bus. c specifies the first (or only) SCSI bus, d specifies the
second, etc.
- y is the SCSI ID number for the SCSI Terminal
Server.
- z is the port number. Use 0-9 for ports 1-10; use a-v
for ports 11-32.
- A ttyxyz device is usually a dial-in device. These
devices wait for the carrier signal before opening.
Example: ttyc23 is the fourth port on a SCSI Terminal
Server set to SCSI ID #2, connected to the first SCSI bus.
|
|
Dial-out:
SCSI Terminal Server
|
ttyXyz
|
- tty is constant.
- X is a uppercase letter from C-J, which identifies the
SCSI bus. C specifies the first (or only) SCSI bus, D specifies the
second, etc.
- y is the SCSI ID number for the SCSI Terminal
Server.
- z is the port number.
- A ttyXyz device is usually a dial-out device. These
devices do not wait for the carrier signal before
opening.
Example: ttyC23 is the fourth port on a SCSI Terminal
Server set to SCSI ID #2, connected to the first SCSI bus.
