required for your operating system is not provided, it can be generated.
Copy the AXEL association file (axfile) into the /etc directory:
To launch the AXEL tty server automatically, whenever the host is booted, copy
into the boot directory the S91axel file (for Unix) or the S91axtty file (for Linux).
The S91axel or S91axtty files launch the AXEL tty server. If parameters other
than the default are required, this command line can be edited.
5.4.3 - Using an AXEL tty server
a) Overview
The AXEL tty server uses a configuration file which lists all authorised
associations between AX3000 resources and UNIX pttys. Each entry in this file
contains four parameters:
- AX3000 hostname (see /etc/hosts)
- the AX3000 resource, which depends on which network service is used:
- tty on auxiliary port: aux1, aux2, parallel,
- tty on terminal session: sess1, sess2, ..., sess8
- rtty on auxiliary port: encoded by a TCP port
- the master file of the ptty (/dev/ptty or /dev/ptmx)
- the slave file of the ptty (/dev/ttyp, /dev/pts/xxx or a link file automatically
created by axttyd).
For example:
#AX3000 Resource Master Slave
axel1 aux1 /dev/ptyp12 /dev/ttyp12
axel1 aux2 /dev/ptmx /dev/pts/13
axel2 2050 /dev/ptyp0 /dev/ttyp0
axel2 sess1 /dev/ptmx /dev/axel
axel2 sess2 /dev/ptyp2 /dev/ttyp2
