Configuring an Asynchronous Terminal Connected to a RAN

This procedure allows you to define and configure a tty device connected to a 128-port asynchronous adapter RAN.

Prerequisites

1. You must have root user authority.
2. A 128-port asynchronous adapter must be installed, defined, and available.
3. At least one RAN must be connected. See "Connecting a RAN to a 128-Port Asynchronous Adapter".
4. Set the RAN node ID. Refer to "Setting a RAN Node Number".

   Note: Correct cabling must be used so the asynchronous terminal operates correctly on the remote asynchronous node. RJ-45 10-pin cable is recommended to support the full EIA 232 specifications.

Procedure

1. Use the smit tty fast path to access the TTY menu.
2. Select Add a TTY.
3. Select tty rs232 Asynchronous Terminal or EIA 422 as appropriate for the RAN type.
4. Make a selection from the available RANs displayed on the screen. If no RANs are displayed or if they are shown in a defined state, check the RAN configuration, cabling, and setup again.

   For this example, the following selection was made:

   sa4 Available 00-03-21 16-Port RAN EIA 232 for 128-Port Adapter

5. In the displayed dialog fields, you can add or change the field values as needed.
6. When you have finished, select Do.
