Configuring the RS-232 Ports
The Model V743 VXI controller comes equipped with two RS-232C ports. The
rst port, labeled \A", may be con gured using SAM (System Administration
Manager). The second port, labeled \B", however, cannot be con gured using
SAM; SAM will incorrectly con gure this port. To con gure this port you need
super-user privilege. The command for con guring this port is:
mknod /dev/rs232_b c 1 0x702004
You may choose a di erent name than \rs232 b" for the device le.
If you plan to use this port with the HP-UX \
you will also need to modify the
for this device le name. A typical entry is:
Direct rs232_b - 9600 direct
Logging In and Out
Once HP-UX is running on your system, you must log in. The process of
logging in is one of the ways that HP-UX prevents unauthorized persons from
using your system. This is especially important if your system is attached to a
network.
