e. Specifying mux2 causes sio, pfail, and pa to be included in the
kernel.
f. These cards are typically used for console and remote console. If the
second port is not being used for remote console, a printer may be
attached.
g. Specifying mux4 causes lanmux0, lantty0, lan3, sio, pfail,
and pa to be included in the kernel.

a. The following model plotters can be configured to the Series 700 serial
interface: 7440A, 7475A, 7550A, 7558, 7570A, 7576A, 7596C,
C1620A, C1625A, C1627A, C1629A, C2847A, C2848A, C2858A,
C2859A, C3170A, C3171A, C3180A, C3181A.
b. The device file created by default is the standard
/dev/tty instance# p port# . For ease of system administration,
HP recommends that you create a line-printer device file
(/dev/c#p#_lp) using mksf, as explained in “Creating a Device
Special File for a Printer or Plotter Configured to a Serial Port”. The
device naming convention derives from ioscan output: c# is the card
instance for the tty class of interface card to which the device is
attached and p# is the port to which the plotter is attached.
