### Configuring a Device for a Terminal

Use this procedure to configure a Digi serial device to use a login. Consult your operating system documentation for more information on configuring a serial device for a terminal.

#### Procedure

1. Connect the terminal to the Digi port.

2. At an AIX root prompt, enter this command:

   `smit tty`

3. Choose Change/Show Characteristics of a TTY.

   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. The second 00 is the slot number. The number 04 is the sa or dm device number. The number 02 is the port number.

4. Set Enable LOGIN to enable.

5. Set BAUD rate to match the terminal's baud rate.

6. Set PARITY, BITS per character, and Number of STOP BITS to match the terminal's settings.

7. Set TERMINAL type to match the type of terminal on the port. This is important if you will be using transparent printing on the auxiliary port of the terminal.

8. Set FLOW CONTROL to be used to match the flow control used by the terminal

9. If DCD is not physically wired high in your cable, set Ignore Carrier Detect to enable.

10. Press Enter to complete the TTY configuration.
