Setting Up Asynchronous Port Services
Setting Up Terminal Services
Setting up terminal service in Solaris requires the sacadm and the pmadm com-
mands. The following example sets up a typical terminal.
To set up services for a typical terminal
1. Create a new port monitor using ttyaur0 as the PMTAG name:
system% sacadm -a -p ttyaur0 -t ttymon -c \
/usr/lib/saf/ttymon -v 1
If you get the message ttyaur0 already exists, it simply means
that someone has already created
ttyaur0.
We recommend a unique PMTAG name for every 16 Aurora ports (in
other words, a unique name for each expansion unit you have).
ttyaur0, ttyaur1,... is our suggestion for PMTAG names; you
could use something else if you prefer. However, it is important not to
use a name of the form
ttymonxx as the PMTAG name.
2. Check the status of the port monitor:
system% pmadm -l
3. Remove the existing service (ttymon0) from the port to be administered (in
this case port 0):
system% pmadm -r -p ttymon0 -s 0
If the Aurora board is the only serial device using ttymon0 as a PMTAG
name, you can remove the services from all ports by typing:
system% sacadm -r -p ttymon0
4. Start a port monitor service for a specific port (in this case, a Wyse 50 terminal
running at 38.4 Kbps):
system% pmadm -a -p ttyaur0 -s 0 -i root -fu -v1 \
-m "‘ttyadm -c -d /dev/term/0 -l 38400 \
-s /usr/bin/login -m ldterm -T wyse50 -S n‘"
5. Repeat steps 2–4 to set up other terminal ports.
Refer to your terminal manual for details on how to set its transmission
characteristics (baud rate, bits/char., parity) and flow control (software/
