### Configuring a Device with smit

Digi devices can be configured with smit using this procedure. Refer to AIX documentation for complete information on the smit utility used in this procedure.

#### Procedure

1. Enter this command at a root prompt on the AIX console: `smit tty`
2. Choose TTY.
3. Choose Change/Show Characteristics of a TTY.
4. Choose a TTY device. Here's an example of a listed device:

   `tty7 Available 00-00-04-02 Asynchronous Terminal`

   In this example, the first 00 is the bus number. This is unused and will always be 00. The second 00 is the slot number. This is unused and will always be 00. The number 04 is the sa device number. The number 02 is the port number.

5. Configure the fields as necessary. Use smit help (the F1 key) for more information on configuring the fields. The only required entry is the PORT number field. Follow these guidelines when configuring the fields:

   For terminals and dial-in devices:

   - Enable LOGIN should be set to enable.
   - BAUD Rate, PARITY, BITS per character and Number of Stop Bits should be configured to match the corresponding device settings.
   - FLOW CONTROL to be used should be configured to match the corresponding device settings.
   - If the Data Carrier Detect signal is not wired between the port and the peripheral device attached to it, set Force Carrier to enable.
6. Choose <Enter> to complete the TTY addition.
