Configuration prerequisites
Adding pseudo terminals
When the number of pseudo terminals on the IBM AIX server is not enough, you can use the smit
configuration program to add pseudo terminals as follows:
1. Launch smit.
# smit
2. Select [Devices].
3. Select [PTY].
4. Select [Maximum number of BSD Pseudo-Terminals] and set it to 256. Now, the number of
supported pseudo terminals is 256.

pseudo terminals on the IBM AIX server does not require reboot.
Modifying the maximum number of processes a user can open
By default, each IBM AIX user can open up to 128 processes. If a Unix server is to be connected with
many terminals (usually more than 50), change the value to 500. To do this, use the following
commands:
# smit
After entering the menu interface, select the [system management] to open the submenu.
From the submenu, select [change/show characteristics of operating system] and change the value of
[maximum number processes allowed per user] to 500.
After modification, you must reboot the server to bring your configuration into effect. You do not need to
change other system kernel parameters.
Editing the ttyd configuration file
For more information, see "Editing the ttyd configuration file."
Modifying route configuration file
The terminal access router is usually connected to the Unix server through WANs and therefore located
on an IP segment different from that of the Unix server, in which case you must configure a route on the
Unix server.
The following example shows how to do this:
# route add –net 10.110.96.0 63.1.1.250
