Activating Ports in SCO Open Server 5

SCO Open Server 5 provides a device database that monitors the

activity of serial ports through which users can log onto the host. If

your ISI ports are used by terminals (e.g., to allow users to log onto

your host), you must create an entry in the system’s device database

that furnishes specific information for the terminals that will be used

to log in. If there is no database entry for a particular terminal, access

to the host is denied.
