first port on the first card). Save the configuration for a particular port using the 'save setup as' menu option as, for example, '1a' for the port / dev/ttyM1a. To connect to the port /dev/ttyM1a using minicom the next time, 'minicom 1a' needs to be executed.

LINUX: TTY Devices Created by the Drivers:

Device files corresponding to ports on the ISI card are created in the /dev folder. Use ttyMxy for normal ports and cumxy for corresponding callout ports. Normal ports (ttyM) are configured for dial-in connections. Callout ports (cum) are used for dial-out connections.

In these expressions (ttyMxy and cumxy), the letter x is the card number (1-4), and y is the port designator (a, b, c, ...).

The ISI Linux driver creates the following TTY devices in /dev directory:

-/dev/ttyM1a TO /dev/ttyM1p for the first ISI card

-/dev/ttyM2a TO /dev/ttyM2p for the second ISI card

-/dev/ttyM3a TO /dev/ttyM3p for the third ISI card

-/dev/ttyM4a TO /dev/ttyM4p for the fourth ISI card

For the ISI5634PCI-4, it uses the following:

-/dev/ttyM1a TO /dev/ttyM1d for the first card

-/dev/ttyM2a TO /dev/ttyM2d for the second card

-/dev/ttyM3a TO /dev/ttyM3d for the third card

-/dev/ttyM4a TO /dev/ttyM4d for the fourth card

For the ISI5634PCI-8, it uses the following:

-/dev/ttyM1a TO /dev/ttyM1h for the first card

-/dev/ttyM2a TO /dev/ttyM2h for the second card

-/dev/ttyM3a TO /dev/ttyM3h for the third card
