Non-Modem and Modem Baud Rate

Software Installation

In the “Basic Configuration” dialog, you should first press Enter in board type field to select board type, C218Turbo/PCI. And then a list of Intellio C218Turbo/PCI boards found available is popped up for you to select. Normally, one choice is available if there is one Intellio C218Turbo/PCI board installed beforehand.

Press Enter on the desired entry of the list to select. Now the selected Intellio C218Turbo/PCI board is configured with BIOS assigned memory address and Bus/Device numbers as shown.

2.Press Page Down to enter “getty Setting” sub-dialog, there are some noticeable fields for initialize the port for getty usage. You may skip this step if you will not use getty utility.

This field stands for the initial baud rate symbol and hunt sequence for Non-Modem /Modem tty. It is simply for setting parameters of getty entries in system file /etc/inittab which could also be manually modified by system administrator. Its value comes from the UNIX system “getty default” file, i.e., “/etc/gettydefs”. Modify this field to suit your need.

In some cases, you may need to modify the “getty default” file as well. For example, in some UNIX systems, the “9600” symbol indicated 8-data-bit no-parity while in others it may stand for 7-data-bit, even-parity. So, please examine the “getty default” file carefully, and make sure the terminal settings is the same. Otherwise, garbled data will be inevitable.
