Configuring a Device for a Terminal with scoadmin

Use this procedure to configure a RealPort device for a terminal in SCO UnixWare. See your operating system documentation for more information on configuring a serial device for a terminal.

The PortServer and RealPort should be properly installed, configured and functioning before proceeding.

Procedure

1. Connect a proper cable between the port and terminal. 
2. Set the port to dev=rp on the PortServer by entering this command at a PortServer root prompt:

   set port dev=rp ra=12

   This example sets PortServer port 12 to be a RealPort device.

   Note: If your PortServer firmware does not support the dev=rp option, use dev=prn instead.

3. If you are using 8-pin RJ-45 cabling from the PortServer to the terminal, set the port to altpin=on by entering this command at a PortServer root prompt:

   set port altpin=on ra=12

   This example sets altpin=on for port 12 of a PortServer.

4. Enable and configure the port using one of the these three methods:

   Method	Description
   Using pmadm	This method can be used in any SVR4-based Unix system.  Though effective, it is often tedious to use because the command used is complicated. See Configuring a Device with pmadm.
   Using the Serial Manager in SCO UnixWare	This method works only in SCO UnixWare. See General SCO UnixWare Device Configuration.
   Using sysadm	This procedure works only in SVR4 systems that have access to a utility called sysadm. See General SVR4 Device Configuration.
