Configuring Serial Ports for Terminals
and Modems 3-
This chapter contains the procedures for configuring serial ports and related
terminals and modems on a Continuum system. For the HP-UX operating system to
communicate with a terminal or modem, the following conditions must be met:
■ The serial device driver that is required to communicate with the device must be
configured into the kernel.
■ The terminal or modem must be attached and configured to the port.
■ A device special file must be created to communicate through the port.
■ A getty process must be run against the (terminal) port to solicit logins.
Configuring Console Controller Serial Ports
Stratus provides a default configuration for the ports supported by the console
controller. (See the “Getting Started” chapter in the HP-UX Operating System: Fault
Tolerant System Administration (R1004H) for a description of console controller
features.) However, you might need to change the configuration at some point. This
section describes how to properly configure the console port(s) and terminal to
communicate with your system.
See Chapter 7, “Configuring Asynchronous Serial Interfaces,” for information about
configuring asynchronous serial ports off other cards. See the “Remote Service
Network” chapter in the HP-UX Operating System: Fault Tolerant System
Administration (R1004H) for information about configuring the Remote Service
Network (RSN).
