MultiModemISI Hybrid Series, ISIHP-2S/2U/4S/4U/4SD

that furnishes specific information for the terminals that will be used

on each ISI port. The database is referenced each time a user attempts

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

to the host is denied.

1. Turn on your system and verify that the firmware for each ISIHP

loads successfully. If the firmware for a given ISIHP card does not

load, none of its ports will be accessible. (If this happens, see

Multi-Tech’s Administrative Utility section in this manual.)

2. Type the complete name of the first device you want to create in

usr/lib/uucp/Devices. Substitute the specific base name,

board number, and port letter for the generic parameters in the

expression ttylbx. Use a lower-case x value for local DTE

(terminal) support and an upper case X value for modem control for

each port you want to enable. Example: ttyl2A denotes the

second ISI card (2) and the first port on that card (A). The port

status can be altered later, but one setting must be selected at this

time. The ACU line would read as follows:

ACU ttylbX - 9600 dialer name. Replace b, X and

dialer-name with appropriate values.

3. Repeat this process for each port on each board you have installed.

Record the setting you select for each port.

4. Using device names created in the previous section, type the

following command for each port you want to activate: enable

ttylbx

5. Repeat this command for each port you want to activate, using the

lower case letter for local terminal use or upper case for modem

control.

Note: Only one of the options (e.g., modem control or local

terminal access) should be enabled for any port at one time. For

example, you cannot enable ttyl1a and then enable ttyl1A. To

change the status of a port, disable the current status (disable

ttyl1a) and then enable it for the desired status (enable ttyl1A).
