Chapter 3—Driver Installation
Device basename selected: _________________
b. After you select a device basename, you are prompted for a printer base name. This prefix
identifies each port that supports a terminal with a printer attached to its auxiliary port (for transparent
printing). Specify a unique printer base name (printer parameters are outlined in the Multi_Setup
Utility section in this manual ).
Printer base name selected: _________________
When you have specified the device base name and the printer base name, press ENTER to
continue.
4. The confirmation screen lists the values you have selected. The following text appears on the
screen (default values are shown):
You have chosen the following setup
The tty prefix is ttyl.
The printer prefix is prnl.
Number of Multi_View pseudo devices [ user-specified number ].
If these values are correct, type Y and the installation process will continue. If there is an error in any
of the values displayed, type N and the first screen displays. Then re-enter the information for each
card.
When you accept the confirmation list (by typing Y), a series of messages displays while the driver is
being installed and the kernel rebuilt. After the terminals have been added to the Terminal Control
database, and when the display says “Press <Enter> to continue:”, then press ENTER.
When Installation complete displays, press ENTER again.
5. Select Host and press ENTER . Remove diskette from the drive.
6. Select Exit and press ENTER .
7. To reboot the system (required), enter the following commands:
Type shutdown -g0-y and press ENTER
OR
Type init 6 and press ENTER .
Driver installation for the ISI5634PCI card now is complete.
Activating Ports in SCO Open Server 5
SCO Open Server 5 provides a device database that monitors the activity of serial ports through which
users can log onto the host. If your ISI ports are used by terminals (e.g., to allow users to log onto your
host), you must create an entry in the system’s device database that furnishes specific information for the
terminals that will be used on each ISI port. The database is referenced each time a user attempts to log
in. If there is no database entry for a particular terminal, access to the host is denied.
1. Turn on your system and verify that the firmware for each ISI5634PCI card loads successfully. If the
firmware for a given ISI5634PCI card does not load, none of its ports will be accessible. (If this
happens, see Multi-Tech’s Administrative Utility section in this manual.)
2. Type the complete name of the first device you want to create in usr/lib/uucp/Devices.
Substitute the specific base name, board number, and port letter for the generic parameters in the
expression ttylbx. Use a lower-case x value for local DTE (terminal) support and an upper case X
value for modem control for each port you want to enable. Example: ttyl2A denotes the second
ISI card (2) and the first port on that card (A). The port status can be altered later, but one setting
must be selected at this time. The ACU line would read as follows:
ACU ttylbX - 9600 dialer name . Replace b, X and dialer-name with appropriate values.
3. Repeat this process for each port on each board you have installed. Record the setting you select
for each port.
