Note: If the response indicates the Digi RealPort Software is installed then proceed to step 3. If there
is no response, then the Digi RealPort Software is not installed and the user must install the Digi
RealPort Software, see "Configuring the 7036-P16 into the network" on page 100.

After the serial device is configured, the terminal type (tty) ports may be configured.
Configuring a 7036-P16 system port tty on an AIX host server
Assumptions:
v The target 7036-P16 and the host server are configured on an Ethernet network.
v The target 7036-P16 and the host server are attached to an Ethernet network.
v The Digi RealPort software is installed on the server.
Gather the following information:
v IP Address of the target 7036-P16: [7036-P16 IP Address]
v IP Address of the host server: [Host Server IP Address]
v Root password of target 7036-P16
Procedure:
1. Ensure that the 7036-P16 and the server are on the network. Ping the 7036-P16 by typing the
following command: ping -c 1 [IP Address of target 7036-P16]
Note: If the 7036-P16 responds to the ping, then it is on the network and the user may proceed to
the next step. If the 7036-P16 does not respond to the ping, then the 7036-P16 is not on the network
and the user must perform the network configuration procedure, see "Configuring the 7036-P16 into
the network" on page 100.
2. Ensure that the Digi RealPort Software is installed on the server. Type the following command: lslpp
-l | grep digi
Note: The response indicates that the digiasync.realport.obj file is installed. If the response indicates
the Digi RealPort Software is installed then proceed to the next step. If there is no response, then the
Digi RealPort Software is not installed and the user must install the Digi RealPort software, see
"Configuring the 7036-P16 into the network" on page 100.
3. Type: smitty tty, then press Enter.
4. Use the cursor to select: Add a tty, then press Enter.
5. Use the cursor to select: tty rs232 Asynchronous Terminal, then press Enter.
6. Use the cursor to select: sa[device number] Available IBM LAN Attached RAN 16, then press Enter.
7. Enter a port number not already assigned to a tty, for example 1, and press Enter
