The port names generated for Intellio cards follow a
as the passive cards do.
The variable name was changed to SATNMS_INTELLIO.
Digi Etherlite Terminal Server
The VLC also supports the Digi Etherlite terminal server series. Set the variable USES_ETHERLITE in the
file /etc/rc.vlc to 'yes' if you have connected one or more terminals servers to the VLC's Ethernet port.
The terminal servers have to be set to fixed IP addresses within the subnet covered by the subnet of the
VLC's Ethernet port. To tell the serial port driver which Etherlite units are connected, you must edit the file
/etc/els.conf. For details, refer to the Digi user manual and the information available at the Digi web site
concerning the Etherlite Linux driver.
The variable name was changed to SATNMS_ETHERLITE in the configuration file '/etc/satnms.rc'.
The VLC uses a fixed scheme to name it's serial ports. This scheme makes it easy to match port connections
and the corresponding port names in the software:
4/8 port
cards:
The port names are built as 'ttySik', where 'i' is the number of the board (1..3) and 'k' is the
number of the port in the board (1..8). The latter port number matches that one printed on the
boards bracket or on the individual connector.
Example: 'ttyS23' designates the third port on the second board.
Intellio
cards:
The port names are built as 'ttyikl', where 'i' is the number of the board (A..C), 'k' is the
number of the external IO module (1..4) and 'l' is the individual port number at this
module(1..8).
Please note, that 16 port modules are treated by the driver like 2 8-port modules in one housing.
They occupy 2 module addresses where the first contains the ports 1..8, the second one the
ports 8..16.
Example: 'ttyA18' designates the 8th port at the first module connected to the first Intellio
board.
Etherlite
ports:
The Etherlite serial port driver automatically assigns names to the ports it manages. The names
are 'ttyN???' where the question marks are replaced by a number which identifies the individual
port. Please refer to the Digi software documentation for the numbering scheme used.
