Setting Up Asynchronous Port Services
To set up services for a typical bidirectional modem
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.
Use a unique PMTAG name for every 16 Aurora ports (in other words, a unique
name for each expansion unit you have). For example, you could use ttaur0,
ttaur1,... and so on for PMTAG names. Don’t use a PMTAG naming for-
mat og ttymon
xx.
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
4. Start a port monitor service for a specific port (in this case, a bidirectional
modem running at 38.4 Kbps):
system% pmadm -a -p ttyaur0 -s 0 -i root -fu -v 1 \
-m "‘ttyadm -b -d /dev/term/0 -l 38400 \
-s /usr/bin/login -m ldterm -S n‘"
5. Now, add the modem to the /etc/uucp/Devices file using the following
format:
ACU cua/0 - 38400 <type>
where <type> is either a built-in function (801, Sytek, TCP, Unet-
server, DK) or one whose name appears in the /etc/uucp/Dialers file
(hayes, tbfast, etc.).
6. Repeat steps 2–5 for other modem ports.
Refer to your modem manual for details on how to set its transmission
characteristics (baud rate, bits/character, parity) and flow control (soft-
ware/hardware). Refer to your Solaris documentation for more informa-
tion about using Admintool and setting up modem services.
