4 Configuring Terminals and
Modems
This chapter contains the procedures for configuring terminals and
modems to serial (RS-232-C) ports.
For HP-UX to communicate with a terminal or modem, the following
conditions must be met:
• The serial device driver required to communicate with the device
must be part of the kernel.
• The terminal or modem must be physically attached and configured
to the port.
• A device special file must be created to communicate through the
port.
•Agetty process must be run against the (terminal) port to solicit
logins.
For procedures on configuring terminals and modems attached to HP
terminal controllers (DTCs) on the network, refer to the following
resources:
• Using the HP DTC Manager/UX (part number J2120-62000), for
managing terminals and modems from a host HP-UX system.
• Using HP OpenView DTC Manager (part number D2355-90001), for
managing terminals and modems from a personal computer.
• documentation accompanying your third-party terminal server.
