Master Setup Process

Use this process to install and configure the SCO UnixWare device driver for AccelePort asynchronous adapters.

1. Install the adapter. See the appropriate hardware installation card for more information.
2. Install the SCO UnixWare driver. See: Installing the Driver: CD or Installing the Driver: Downloaded.

   The installation software creates devices in /dev. For naming conventions, see: Device Names.

3. If you are using 8-pin RJ-45 connectors and need modem control signals, configure the ports for ALTPIN operation. See: Using 8-Pin RJ-45 Connectors.
4. AccelePort adapters support baud rates in excess of the maximum baud rate supported by UNIX. To enable the use of these fast baud rates, a ditty parameter, fastbaud, has been provided. See: fastbaud Data Rate Mapping.
5. If you have terminals with attached printers, the TTY devices may be configured to support transparent printing. See About Transparent Printing for a general description of the process, and Configuring Transparent Printers for descriptions of the ditty parameters. For examples, see: Configuring Transparent Printers: Examples
