Software/Driver Installation (SCO Open Server)
60 MultiModemISI Hybrid Server Cards, ISIHP & ISIHI Series
The Multi_View utility initializes the multiple-page capability of
terminals with multiple pages of memory. The number specified
here is the total number of devices (between 1 and 256) available to
all Multi-Tech terminals and its the number of pseudo devices
available to the Multi_View utility.
Specify 8 pseudo devices for each ISIHx-2S or -2U card installed;
specify 16 for each ISIHP-4S or -4U card installed;
specify 8 devices for each ISIHP-4SD card installed.
For example, if the computer contains three ISIHP-4S cards, you
would enter 48.
The ISIHP-1S card is a special case. In the MultiTech Installation
Script, you should specify 8 pseudo devices for the ISIHP-1S card.
However, only four of these pseudo devices will actually be used.
The first pair, ttyl1A and ttyl1B, will be used as terminal
adapters; the third pair, tty11E and tty11F, will be used as
modems. (In device names like ttyl1A, the fourth character is a
lower-case L; the device names are, however, case sensitive.)
The remaining ports (the second pair and the fourth pair) are not
used and can be allocated to a different purpose after the ISIHP-1S
installation is complete. You must initialize each of the four ports
separately using the enable command (for example, enable
ttyl1a).
The ISIHP-4SD is also a special case. In the MultiTech Installation
script, you should specify 16 pseudo devices for the ISIHP-4SD
card. However, only the first 8 devices (ttyl1A through
ttyl1H) will be used and these will be used as terminal adapters.
The remaining ports (ttyl1J through ttyl1P) are not used and
can be allocated to a different purpose after the ISIHP-4SD
installation is complete. Use the enable command to initialize
ports.
3. This text appears on the screen and relates to the /dev directory.
This script also creates the devices in your
system to communicate with the ports of
ISICOM. The default prefix for the tty ports
is ttyl. The default prefix for the printer
is prnl. Is this acceptable? (y/n/q).
