Configuring HP-UX For Peripherals

Conﬁguring Terminals and Modems

Planning to Conﬁgure a Terminal or Modem

Non-HP Terminal as a Console”, later in this chapter.

The following non-standard terminal emulations are provided for

HP-UX:

• DEC VT100, VT320

• VT420 terminals in VT100 or VT320 modes

• Wyse 60

• HP terminal 700/60 in VT100, VT320, and Wyse 60 modes.

Note, the less expensive DEC and Wyse terminals lack certain

capabilities standard to full-featured HP terminal ﬁrmware. See

“Limitations to Non-HP Terminal Emulation” for information on the

differences.

Planning to Conﬁgure a Port for a Modem

To add a modem to an HP system, you need to conﬁgure both the serial

port for HP-UX to recognize the modem and the modem's protocol.

Regardless of whether you conﬁgure using SAM (recommended) or

HP-UX command-line interface, read the procedure and modem

documentation beforehand.

Consider the following choices:

• The hardware path (including port number) of the serial interface to

be used by the modem. You can identify potential ports by invoking

/usr/sbin/ioscan -C tty or list /dev/tty

p*, where

is the mux

card instance and p* shows all existing ports.

• The modem's baud rate.

• Whether the modem will be used for outgoing calls.

• Whether the modem will receive incoming calls.

• Whether the modem requires CCITT (required only by certain

European government protocols). For standard Hayes-compatible

modems that use CCITT modulation and compression standards, do

not use CCITT mode. See modem (7) for details of RS-232-C signaling

characteristic of simple and CCITT modems.

• Whether you need to conﬁgure for UUCP connectivity.
