Determine your CD device

Common names for CD-ROM devices:

NAME	EXAMPLE
/dev/cdrom	/dev/cdrom
/dev/cdrom/cdromn	/dev/cdrom/cdrom1
/dev/cdn	/dev/cd0
/dev/dsk/cktmdn	/dev/c1t2d0

To list descriptions of devices: AIX: lscfg

HPUX: - Make sure you have administrator privileges and your PATH includes /usr/sbin

ioscan -funC disk

Solaris: Most Solaris systems use an auto-mounter.

See the man page on vold: man vold

If your system auto mounts the CD, skip to step 5. Auto Mount programs may use the volume information to define a mount point. If the CD volume label is "Digi" then the mount point may be /cdrom/digi

3

Identify the mount-directory.

Some common pre-existing mount points:

/mnt/cdrom /cdrom

Or create your own:

mkdir /mnt/mycdrom

HPUX - Check to see if pfs is running ps -ef grep pfs

If not, start the daemons:

pfs_mountd&; pfsd&

4

Mount the CD by entering one of the commands from the following table:

Operating	Command
System
AIX	mount -r-v cdrfs device mount-directory
*HPUX	do not use mount, it will not operate correctly
	pfs_mount device mount-directory
	See man pages for pfs and pfs_mount for more
	information.
Linux	mount device mount-directory
SCO	mount -r-F cdfs device mount-directory
UnixWare
SCO	mount -r-f ISO9660 device mount-directory
OpenServer
Solaris	mount -F hsfs device mount-directory
(Intel &	Most systems use an auto-mounter. See the man page
SPARC)	on vold: man vold

device is the path to the device file assigned to the cdrom drive, mount-directoryis the directory where the Digi CD is mounted

*HPUX When finished, leave the CD directory and pfs_umount

cd

pfs_umount mount-directory

(If you inadvertenly use umount instead of pfs_umount, kill the pfs daemons to remove the CD-ROM.)

5

Navigate to mounted CD directory, enter: ./setup

If you see DISPLAY permission errors when running the CD, you may want to verify your DISPLAY variable is set. To set the DISPLAY variable:

DISPLAY=localhost:0.0; export DISPLAY

AND/OR

xhost +localhost

and select Cabling.	All RJ-45 cables and connectors are 8-pin. When using these adapters with modems or other applications that require
	DCD on pin 1, you must turn on altpin. If altpin is turned off, the hardware signal on pin 1 becomes DSR instead of
	DCD. This alternative can be used if DCD is not required, and DSR is needed instead. Configure the altpin through
	the web interface or the command line. See the User's Guide, MEI chapter or the set flow command in the Command
	Reference on the Digi CD under Documentation for more information about setting the altpin.
