Configuring UnixWare

Note: These installation instructions are for UnixWare 2.1. Installation on other

versions of Unix may be different. Please consult your operating system

manual or help text for instructions regarding installation of a serial mo-

dem.

Step 1 After you have installed the modem into your machine, turn on the power

and allow the system to boot normally. Log in to Unix as “Desktop User”.

Step 2 Go to Administrative_Tools-Hardware_Setup. This will require the root

password.

Step 3 In the Hardware_Setup main menu, choose Hardware Device Configura-

tion and press ENTER.

Step 4 Under the Device Name column, try to locate all of the “Unknown De-

vices”. For each unknown device you find, move the cursor to each row and

press F6 for information. Look for the item “Board ID”. You will be look-

ing for a board with ID “0x11c10480”.

Step 5 Once you find the board, press ENTER to return to the previous screen.

Now use the tab key to move the cursor to the Device Name field for that

board. Press F2 to bring up the list of choices.

Step 6 In the Device Name Choices screen, choose COM port or asyn, then press

ENTER to go back to the Hardware Devices Configuration screen.

Step 7 Press F10 to return to the Main Menu. Now choose Apply Changes & Exit

DCU.

Step 8 Reboot the computer. Turn to the section titled “Configuring Your Modem’s

Country Code” for instructions on how to configure the modem to use the

Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) of your country.

Note: If you cannot find a board with the proper ID, then exit UnixWare and

power down. Check that the PCI Modem is correctly seated in the PCI slot.

Remove and reseat the card if required.

To find out which COM Port is assigned to the modem, choose Software

Device Driver Selections from the Main Menu. Now choose Communica-

tions Cards and press F6 to get the information for the asyn driver.

To test the modem, UnixWare provides a utility that can be used as a termi-

nal program. To use this program, log in as “root” or get an x-terminal “su

root”. Then run /usr/lib/uucp/modem <device> <baudrate>.
