Description
Type a port description up to 60 alphanumeric characters long. The ports that you define appear in a list
box on the Micros form so that you can assign a serial port to direct-communication micros (unidirectional
or bidirectional). None appears in the list box so that you can indicate no secondary port for a
unidirectional micro and no primary or secondary port for a dial-up micro.
A typical description of a host port includes the line number and port number.
Example: Line 1 Port 1 tty2
The host as two serial ports. Additional serial ports are available if a multi-port adapter is attached.
Note:
Serial port (S1) on the RISC/6000 is used by the system console, in the case of an ASCII
console.
Facility
Modem Type
Phone
Click Facility to display the facilities list box. Selecting a facility allows the administrator to restrict operator
access to those records in a specific facility. For more information, see Creating facilities on page 52.
A port used for direct-communication micros does not require a modem type (select None). None is the
default selection. If modems are connected, click Modem Type to display a list box of modems. Select the
modem type that matches your modem, and then click Close.
The dial-up (micro-to-host) telephone number. Include the area code but not the PBX prefix or country
code. A dial-up micro can use this number to dial the host.
A dial-up micro uses a dynamic list of phone numbers to call the host on any compatible port that is
available. When the port is assigned the same modem type as the micro, that port becomes compatible.
Note:
A port used for direct-communication micros does not require a phone number. (Leave this field
blank for direct connection micros.) The port used for dial-up communications requires a phone
number.
Baud Rate
For direct-communication micros, select the desired baud rate.
For dial-up micros, 9600 is the required line setting for the Micro/5-PX.
Data Bits The required line setting is 8.
Stop Bits The required line setting is 1.
Parity
tty
The required line setting is None.
AIX: Type the full path name of the port as defined in AIX, such as /dev/ttyN, where N=line number. This
must be typed in lower-case characters, and must not be the port assigned to the operator’s console.
(Typically, tty0 is assigned to the console.)
Linux: Refer to the following for Port Device Naming conventions for Linux systems:
Com Ports
com1 /dev/ttyS0
com2 /dev/ttyS1
PCI 8/16 Serial Port Adapter
1 /dev/ttya01
2 /dev/ttya02
3 /dev/ttya03
and so on...
