Asynchronous Device File Names
Each serial port connected to terminals, modems, etc., needs to be identified by one
or more device files, depending on the intended use of the port. Device file naming
conventions vary, depending on the device’s use.
The system automatically creates Solaris device files for each new port on the Van-
guard Multiport card. Table 4 shows the device files created for a four-port card
installed on the same system.
The format for device file names is defined as shown in Figure 3.
