3. This text appears on the screen and relates to the /dev directory.
This script also creates the devices in your
system to communicate with the ports of
ISICOM. The default prefix for the tty ports
is ttyl. The default prefix for the printer
is prnl. Is this acceptable? (y/n/q).
For most users, its best to select y, which entails accepting the
default values. Then proceed to step 4.
Details for use of non-default port/printer values. The /dev
directory holds device-information files used by the kernel to
access the hardware. When you add an ISI card, you must give the
ISI ports unique names so they do not conflict with existing ports or
with other devices known to your system. If a device name has
already been assigned to an existing device and the operator assigns
that name to a new device, then the existing device will be deleted
when the ISI port using its name is created.
a. To use a non-default base name, type N and then enter a
basename having less than five characters. The base name you
select will be used for all ports on each card you install. ISI port
designations will have this form:
[basename prefix][board number][port letter].
basename: Length is one to four characters.
board number: Values will be 1, 2, 3, or 4, depending on
how many ISI cards are installed in your computer.
port letter: Use letters A through H.
In SCO UNIX, values A-H indicate modem ports.
Device basename selected: _________________
b. After you select a device basename, you are prompted for a printer
base name. This prefix identifies each port that supports a terminal
with a printer attached to its auxiliary port (for transparent
printing). Specify a unique printer base name (printer parameters
are outlined in the Multi_Setup Utility section in this manual ).
