Configuring serial ports
The software provided with the SCO UnixWare operating system includes a utility called
Serial Manager which allows you to configure the extra serial ports you have added to your
system.
To configure serial ports with Serial Manager proceed as follows;
1. At the command prompt, type
scoadmin
The System Administration window is now displayed as shown in the next picture.
Note
If you are running version 2 of the SCO UnixWare operating system you need to use the
procedures described in
Configuring serial ports under SCO UnixWare 2
configure your serial ports.
Note
On UnixWare 7.0, you must apply a patch file called
ptf7053
before using the Serial Manager.
You can find the patch on the SCO web site at;
Note
If you want to perform transparent printing from any of the terminals attached to your
system, you need to check the contents of the
printcap.spd
file to see if the
terminal type you are using is supported. To do this proceed as follows;
1. Using a text editor, go to the
/etc
directory and open the file called
printcap.spd
2. Check the contents of the
printcap.spd
file to see if the terminal type you are
using is supported. See
in
Appendix B Transparent printing
for the
syntax of the entries in this file.
3. If the terminal type you are using is not supported, add an entry for the new
terminal type (including the type, transparent print ON and transparent print
OFF strings) to the
printcap.spd
file (
). See the user guide for your
terminal for details of the entries required.
4. If you have made any changes then type
spdconf
in order to re-configure the
print port settings.
You can now configure the ports you want using the Serial Manager utility.
