For ISI5634PCI-4 cards (4 ports):
- /dev/ttyM1a to /dev/ttyM1d for modem ports.
For ISI5634PCI-8 cards (8 ports):
- /dev/ttyM1a to /dev/ttyM1h for modem ports.
LINUX -- Dial-in configuration:
To configure a particular port for dial-in, utilities like 'mgetty' need to be
installed on the system. If, for example, the port /dev/ttyM2c needs to
be configured for a remote-access dial-in connection, an entry of the
form 'M2c:12345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty ttyM2c' needs to be added in
the /etc/inittab file. After you have made the change, execute 'init q' so
that the 'init' process re-reads the inittab file and spawns the mgetty
process to wait for an incoming connection. Users can then dial in, use
their user names and passwords to log in, and access their accounts on
the machine.
To disable dial-in access on a particular port, change the entry in the /
etc/inittab file to 'M2c:12345:off:/sbin/mgetty ttyM2c'or
just comment-out that entry by prefixing a '#' to the entry on the line.
LINUX -- PPP setup:
The 'PPP-HOWTO' (a document that is available as a part of the
'HOWTO' documentation on most of the distributions under /usr/doc/
HOWTO) explains in detail the procedure for configuring a Linux
machine as a PPP server. This information is also available at
http://www.interweft.com.au/other/ppp-howto/ppp-howto.html.
The documentation in the PPP-HOWTO is directly applicable to ISI
ports.
