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.
Connect a proper cable between the port and terminal.
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.
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.
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 |
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. |
