### Testing Digi Ports in SCO OpenServer

Connect terminals to the ports and test the connections to the terminals by entering the following command for each port added:

date > /dev/ttyi1a

(Substitute the appropriate port name for the one shown here.)

If the date appears on the terminal screen, the device is properly connected.

If the date does not appear on the terminal screen, then that terminal is not receiving data; check the cables, connections, etc.

If nonsense characters are displayed on the terminal screen, check the baud rate, data bits, stop bits and parity settings on your terminal (Unix default parameters are 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity).
