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 ISIHP loads successfully. If the firmware for a given ISI460x-PCI 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-namewith 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.
