Master Setup Process

Use this general procedure to install and configure the SCO UnixWare device driver for AccelePort Xp 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. See Device Names for a description of the naming conventions for AccelePort Xp devices.

  3. If you plan to use PortAssist Manager, load the PortAssist Manager Communication Agent. See About PortAssist Manager and Loading the Communication Agent.
  4. Configure the ports for ALTPIN operation if you will be using 8-pin RJ-45 connectors and need modem control signals. See: Using 8-Pin RJ-45 Connectors.
  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.
  6. Test the Ports. See Testing a Port.
