getty
The following procedure sets up an application, such as getty, to access a modem:
1
Use rtelnet to create a special file that references the Model 5390 port:
# rtelnet –mr 5390_02 3 /dev/modem
2
Enable a getty process that monitors the port.
See the appropriate system documentation for the required steps.
For a 4.3BSD system, add a line to /etc/ttys to define the
device name
as a getty line. For a
Sun OS 4.
x
system, add a line to
/etc/ttytab. The following example can be used with either system:
modem “/etc/getty std.9600” ansi on
Then, signal init to read the file and start a getty for that port:
# kill –HUP 1
Add rtelnet to /etc/rc (or the appropriate file) so that the special file is created when the system
boots.
NOTE:
If the system uses a name server to translate host names to Inter-
net addresses and you use the Model 5390 name in the rtelnet command,
make sure that the Model 5390 server is listed in the name server data-
base and that the name server is started before the rtelnet command.
NOTE:
Other operating systems use different formats for creating a
getty process. If the system uses a name server to translate host names
to Internet addresses and you use the Model 5390 name in the rtelnet
command, make sure that the Model 5390 server is listed in the name
server database and that the name server is started before the rtelnet
command.
