For dial-out connections on Unix
If you have not already loaded ioland onto your system, do so now (see Perle CD). For more
information on ioland see Chapter 9 Other devices setup. In it’s simplest form, at the
superuser prompt you would run the following command in Unix:
ioland –h <server-name> 10006 <device-name>
This will start the ioland process and allow you to specify a device-name in /dev that is linked
to a pseudo tty. This pseudo tty works just like a regular tty with the following exception: you
cannot set physical attributes such as baud rate, parity and flow control as these are handled
by the terminal server. If you plan to use communication software on the Unix host such as
cu or uucp you should refer to your Unix manual for additional help.
For dial-out connections on Windows ® systems
Check our website for the latest information on dial-out connections (under the Windows ®
support directory). See Appendix F Contacting Perle.
