General SVR4 Device Configuration

This topic describes how to configure serial ports, which includes configuring port direction (incoming and outgoing), transmission speed, and other port attributes.

Note: These procedures assume that a generic SVR4 port configuration utility called sysadm is available through your operating system. SCO UnixWare users should use the procedure found in General SCO UnixWare Device Configuration.

Enabling Login on a Port

1. At a UNIX command prompt, type sysadm and then press <Enter>.
2. Choose Ports > Quick Terminal > Add.
3. Follow the remaining sysadm prompts.  
4. Repeat these steps for every port to be enabled.
5. Exit sysadm.

Modifying Port Settings

1. At a UNIX command prompt, type sysadm and then press <Enter>.
2. Choose Ports > Ports Services > Modify.
3. Follow the remaining sysadm prompts.
4. Change the port parameters as needed.
5. Repeat these steps for every port.
