Chapter 3—Software/Driver Installation
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 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
ISI5634PCI card loads successfully. If the firmware for a given
ISI5634PCI 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
