Asynchronous Device File Names
Asynchronous Device File Names
Each serial port connected to terminals, modems, etc., needs to
be identified by one or more device files, depending on the
intended use of the port. Device file naming conventions vary,
depending on the device’s use.
The format for device file names is defined as:
term/25
Indicates the port number being accessed on
the card. The number increments sequentially
(in decimal) from the first port on the first card
through the rest of the ports on the rest of the
cards installed in the system.
Indicates device type:
term for terminals, dial-in modems
cua for dial out modems
The install script automatically creates Solaris device files for
each new port on the controller card. Table 5 shows the device
files created on a system with a eight-port card installed in the
first available slot and a four-port card installed in the next
available slot.
On that system, the terminal device for the port labelled 3 on
card #2 would be accessed by the term/11 device file.
