Master Setup Process

Use this process to install and configure the SCO OpenServer device driver for Digi RAS adapters.

  1. Prepare for configuration. See Information to Gather

    Note: This step is necessary only for DataFire RAS adapters. For AccelePort RAS 4/8 adapters, the only required information is the modem nationality. 

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

    The installation software creates devices in /dev. See: Device Names.

  4. If you plan to use PortAssist Manager, load the PortAssist Manager Communication Agent. See About PortAssist Manager and Loading the Communication Agent.
  5. Configure the adapter. If you are running an X Window environment, see Configuring the Adapter: GUI. If you are not using an X Window environment, see Configuring the Adapter: Manual.
  6. Set up modems. This step is only required if you want to support dial-in modem connections. See Configuring a Modem: RAS Adapters.
