The AXEL tty Server
________________________________________________________________
58 TCP/IP AXEL Platine Terminal
7.3 - UNIX CONFIGURATION
A UNIX host accepts an AX3000 tty connection if
axttyd
is launched on the
UNIX host and if the
axttyd
configuration file lists this connection.
7.3.1 - Installing
Insert the floppy diskette provided. Log in as superuser and enter the following
commands:
# cd /tmp <CR>
# tar xvf /dev/fdx <CR>
# cd ttyserver <CR>
(where fdx is the local name for the floppy disk drive device)
Select the binary file that corresponds to the operating system you are using
(
axttyd.XXX
). Then copy it into the
/etc
directory
For example, on IBM’s AIX:
# cp axttyd.AIX /etc/axttyd <CR>
Note: the source file and the
makefile
are also provided. If the binary file
required for your operating system is not provided, it can be generated.
Copy the AXEL association file into the
/etc
directory:
# cp axfile /etc <CR>
To run the AXEL tty server automatically, whenever the UNIX host is powered
on, copy the
S91axel
file into
/etc/rc2.d
(or
/etc/rcd.3
for some UNIX
systems):
# cp S91axel /etc/rc2.d <CR>
The
S91axel
file contains a command which launches the AXEL tty server.
Modify this command line to use parameters other than the default ones.
