Warranty and Service Information

5.The fifth screen requests you to enter the number of pseudo devices to create for Multi_View Utility. Enter the value and press ENTER.

Note: You must enter a minimum of 8 for each board installed.

6.The /dev directory holds device-information files used by the kernel to access the hardware. When you add an ISI card, you must give the ISI ports unique names, so they do not conflict with existing ports or other devices known to your system. If you use an existing device name to identify your new ISI ports, the existing device is deleted when the ISI port using its name is created.

The default base name for ISIHP-2S/2U ports is ttyl. The default base name for printer ports is prnl. If this is acceptable, type Y and press ENTER.

To change the base name, type N and provide a prefix of less than five characters. The base name you select will be used for all ports on each card you install.

The following describes the format used in naming ISI ports: Default device name and format: ttyl

7.After you select a device base name, you are prompted for a printer base name. This prefix identifies each port that supports a terminal with a printer attached to its auxiliary port (for transparent printing).
