Adding an RTA to the system

To add an RTA to your system configuration, proceed as follows;

1. Physically install the Remote Terminal Adaptor in your system using the procedures

detailed in

on page

.

2. Login to your system as super user.

3. At the command prompt, type

config.rio

and press the

Enter

key.

The RIO configuration utility window is now displayed showing a map of your system. See

Configuring ports with config.rio

on page

for more details about how config.rio

works.

4. In the RIO configuration utility window, highlight the unconfigured RTA you want to add to

the system.

Note

The way in which an unconfigured RTA is displayed depends on the types of
terminal being used. Normally, either the RTA icon flashes or appears in a
different colour.
