Selecting Device Drivers for Terminals and Modems

Use Table 3-1 “Serial Configurations for Terminals and Modems ” on the next page to identify the interface and device drivers required to configure a terminal or modem to a serial port.

For information on increasing the number of available serial ports, see Chapter 2, "Configuring Interface Cards."

Architecture ^[1]	Interface Cards	Drivers	Device Files (for terminals ^[2] )	H/W Flow Control ^[3]

Series 800 CIO	98190A 98196A	`mux0`^[5]	(same as above)	No

^[1]The following terminals are supported for HP-UX: C1006A/G/W, C1007A/G/W, C1017A/G/W, C1064A/G/GX/W/WX, C1065A/G/W, C1080A/G/W, C1083W, C1084W, C1085W, VT100, VT320, WYSE60, 700/60, 700/96, 700/98. HP-UX supports numerous third-party modems. ^[2]Device special files for modems are not created by default. See Table 3-7 “Device Special Files for Modems” for information on creating them using `mksf` ^[3]See termio(7) and termiox(7) for information. ^[4]`mux#` and `tty#p#` derive from `ioscan` output: The numeral after `mux` and `tty` is the card instance for the `tty` class of interface card to which the terminal is connected; the numeral after `p` is the port number of the serial interface. ^[5]Specifying `mux0` causes `cio_ca0`, `sio`, `pfail`, and `pa` to be included in the kernel. ^[6]The A1703-60022 and 28639-60001 personality cards are used for console connection. ^[7]Specifying `mux2` causes `sio`, `pfail`, and `pa` to be included in the kernel. ^[8]J2092A and J2096A do not support modems. ^[9]Hard ware flow control is supported on the A1703-60022 for the first eight (of 16) ports only. ^[10]Personality card used for console and remote console connection. ^[11]Specifying `mux4` causes `lanmux0`, `lantty0`, `sio`, `pfail`, and `pa` to be included in the kernel.
