OnCell G3100 Series
Software Installation/Configuration
14-19
Hardware Setup
Before proceeding with the software installation, make sure you have completed the hardware installation.
Note that the default IP address for the LAN interface of OnCell G3100 is
192.168.127.254
.
NOTE
After installing the hardware, you must configure the operation mode of the serial port on your OnCell G3100
to Real COM mode.
Installing Linux Real TTY Driver Files
1.
Obtain the driver file from the Moxa website, at
2.
Log in to the console as a super user (root).
3.
Execute
cd
/ to go to the root directory.
4.
Copy the driver file
moxa_oncell_realtty.tgz to the / directory
.
5.
Execute
tar xvfz moxa_oncell_realtty.tgz
to extract all files into the system.
6.
Execute
/tmp/oncell_realtty/mxinst
.
For RedHat AS/ES/WS and Fedora Core1, append an extra argument as follows:
# /tmp/oncell_realtty/mxinst SP1
The shell script will install the driver files automatically.
7.
After installing the driver, you will be able to see several files in the
/usr/lib/oncell_realtty/driver
folder:
>
mxaddsvr
(Add Server, mapping tty port)
>
mxdelsvr
(Delete Server, un-mapping tty port)
>
mxloadsvr
(Reload Server)
>
mxmknod
(Create device node/tty port)
>
mxrmnod
(Remove device node/tty port)
>
mxuninst
(Remove tty port and driver files)
At this point, you will be ready to map the OnCell serial port to the system tty port.
Mapping TTY Ports
Make sure that you set the operation mode of the desired OnCell G3100 serial port to Real COM mode. After
logging in as a super user, enter the directory
/usr/lib/oncell_realtty/driver
and then execute
mxaddsvr
to map the target OnCell serial port to the host tty ports. The syntax of
mxaddsvr
is as follows:
mxaddsvr
[OnCell IP Address] [Total Ports] ([Data port] [Cmd port])
The
mxaddsvr
command performs the following actions:
1.
Modifies
oncellreald.cf.
2.
Creates tty ports in directory /dev with major & minor number configured in
oncellreald.cf
.
3.
Restarts the driver.
Mapping tty ports automatically
To map tty ports automatically, you may execute
mxaddsvr
with just the IP address and number of ports, as
in the following example:
# cd /usr/lib/oncell_realtty/driver
# ./mxaddsvr 192.168.3.4 1
In this example, one tty port will be added, with IP 192.168.3.4, with data port 950 and command port 966.
