NPort 5600-8-DT/DTL Series TTY Drivers for Linux and UNIX
UNIX Fixed TTY Drivers
A fixed TTY driver is provided that will map UNIX host TTY ports to NPort device ports. Once the mapping has
been set up, UNIX users and applications can connect to a device port as if it were a local TTY port. This driver
has been designed and tested for the majority of UNIX systems. Please check Moxa’s website
(http://www.moxa.com) for the latest UNIX systems support. For more detail, please refer to README.TXT.
Installing the UNIX Driver
1. Log in to UNIX and create a directory for the Moxa TTY. To create a directory named /usr/etc, execute the
command:
# mkdir –p /usr/etc
2. Copy moxattyd.tar to the directory you created. For the /usr/etc directory, you would execute the
following commands:
# cp moxattyd.tar /usr/etc
# cd /usr/etc
3. Extract the source files from the tar file by executing the command:
# tar xvf moxattyd.tar
The following files will be extracted:
README.TXT
moxattyd.c --- source code
moxattyd.cf --- an empty configuration file
Makefile --- makefile
VERSION.TXT --- fixed tty driver version
FAQ.TXT
4. Compile and link.
For SCO UNIX:
# make sco
For UnixWare 7:
# make svr5
For UnixWare 2.1.x, SVR4.2:
# make svr42
Configuring the UNIX Driver
Modify the configuration:
The configuration used by moxattyd is defined in the text file moxattyd.cf, which is in the same directory.
You may use vi or any text editor to modify the file, as follows:
ttyp1 192.168.1.1 950
You can refer to moxattyd.cf for detailed descriptions of the various configuration parameters. Please note
that “Device Name” depends on the OS. See the Device Naming Rule section in README.TXT for more
information.
To start the moxattyd daemon after system bootup, add an entry into /etc/inittab using the TTY name you
defined in moxattyd.cf, as in the following example:
ts:2:respawn:/usr/etc/moxattyd/moxattyd –t 1
Device naming rule
For UnixWare 7, UnixWare 2.1.x, and SVR4.2, use:
pts/[n]
For all other UNIX operating systems, use:
ttyp[n]
