Configuring a Device with smit

Digi serial devices can be configured with smit using this procedure. Refer to AIX documentation for complete information on the smit utility.

Procedure

1. Enter this command at a root prompt on the AIX console:

   smit tty

2. Choose Change / Show Characteristics of a TTY.

3. Choose a TTY device. Here is an example of a listed device:

   tty2 Available 04-04-01-02 Asynchronous Terminal

   In this example, the first 04 is the bus number. The second 04 is the slot number. The number 01 is the dm device number. The number 02 is the port number.

   A dialog panel appears with fields to configure the port.

4. Configure the fields as necessary. The only required entry is the PORT number field.

5. If the Data Carrier Detect signal is not wired between the port and the peripheral device attached to it, set Ignore Carrier Detect to enable.

6. Press Enter to complete the TTY addition.
