How to Set Up an ATE Dialing Directory
Prerequisites
- The Asynchronous Terminal Emulation (ATE) program must be set up on the system.
- To set up a system-wide dialing directory, the user must have write access to the /usr/lib/dir file.
Procedure
- Create the dialing directory file:
- Change directories to the directory where the dialing directory file will reside.
- Copy the /usr/lib/dir file to use as a template. Rename the file to any valid file name.
- Create telephone number entries using the format given in the dialing directory file format.
- Save the file.
Note: If the new dialing directory file is to be the system-wide default file, save the file with the name /usr/lib/dir.
- If the dialing directory file name is not the default (/usr/lib/dir), edit the ate.def file in the directory from which the ATE program is run. Change the DIRECTORY parameter in the ate.def file to the new dialing directory file.
- Start ATE and view the dialing directory with the directory subcommand.
