TTY device setup on the operating system
Use the System Management Interface Tool (SMIT) to define a tty port for the device attachment.
Most fields are for the general device type. The only field that can affect the modem is the Enable LOGIN field with the following values:
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| DISABLE | No getty process is run on the port. Use this setting for dial-out only modem ports. |
| ENABLE | A getty process is run on the port. Use this setting for dial-in modems only. |
| SHARE | A getty process is run on the port, but the getty process allows programs to dial in and out of this port without manually changing to disable or enable. Use this setting for bidirectional port usage. |
| DELAY | A getty is run on the port in bidirectional mode, but no herald is sent until the getty process receives a keystroke from the user. |
Fields specific to the 128-port asynchronous adapter:
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Force Carrier or Ignore Carrier Detect | disable* |
| Perform Cooked Processing in Adapter | disable |
Note: This setting indicated by an asterisk (*) is set to disabled
if the 10 pin RJ-45 connector is used. This setting should be enabled
if the 8 pin RJ-45 connector is used.
