6. Configure your terminal.
Wyse-compatible terminals have a setup menu that allows you to control
how your terminal operates. The setup options require only one adjustment.
See your terminal manual to learn how to access the setup menu.
After accessing the setup menu, set the following options:
•
Wyse WY-50 — set to tvi925 emulation mode.
•
8 data bits per character.
•
1 stop bit.
•
No parity.
•
9600 baud.
•
X ON/X OFF enabled.
Note – If you are using the Serial Parallel Controller under Solaris 2.1 or later,
refer to SunOS 5.1 Adding and Maintaining Devices and Drivers about
configuring terminal devices. The following discussion relates only to
operation under Solaris 1.x.
7. Define the terminal to your system.
After connecting, powering up, and configuring your terminal, you must
inform your system about the new device. The device driver needs to know
where to send the data that you want to display on the terminal, and where
to look for the data that you type from the terminal keyboard.
a. To set up the
tty
ports for the device driver, become superuser and
edit
