MultiTech Installation Script

The Multi-Tech Installation Script for SCO Open Server 5 systems requests information about how many boards you want to install, designations for communication ports and printer ports, and how many pseudo devices you want to create for Multi_View utility. Based on this information, the appropriate driver files will be installed and linked with your system’s kernel.

1. This text appears on the screen:

You can install up to 4 ISA/PCI cards in a system. The PCI cards will be autodetected on bootup. Enter the number of ISA cards you want to install and configure on your system (0-4):

Select 0, which indicates that your computer has a PCI bus and can autodetect the ISI cards.

2.The following text appears on the screen:

Multi_View is a utility which will allow you to have multiple sessions on terminals that have multiple pages of physical memory. In order for this utility to work with MultiTech’s serial cards, pseudo devices have to be created in your /dev directory. These devices are system-wide resources.

Enter the number of pseudo-devices to be created for the use of Multi_View utility (1 - 256).

The Multi_View utility initializes the multiple-page capability of terminals with multiple pages of memory. The number specified here is the total number of devices (between 1 and 256) available to all Multi-Tech terminals and it’s the number of pseudo devices available to the Multi_View utility.

Specify 8 pseudo devices for each ISIHP-2S or -2U card installed; specify 16 for each ISIHP-4S or -4U card installed.

For example, if the computer contains three ISIHP-4S cards, you would enter 48.
