Displays or downloads Network Terminal Accelerator (NTX) adapter configurations.
hty_load [ -d Device ] [ -f ConfigFileName ]
The hty_load command displays or downloads adapter configurations. If you issue this command without any flags, the system displays the current adapter configuration for the /dev/rhp0 device file. Given a Device parameter, the hty_load command loads a configuration file into the tty driver. The tty driver uses the file to configure both the host presentation services (HPS) and the adapters.
Typically, the hty_load commmand is invoked from the /etc/rc.ntx file. For more information about adapter configurations, see "Network Terminal Accelerator Installation and Configuration" in AIX Versions 3.2 and 4 Asynchronous Communications Guide.
The hty_load command uses a single configuration file to configure the adapters. Each entry is on a separate line. Entries are separated by new-line characters. Fields in an entry are separated by tabs or space characters. Entries in the configuration file have the following fields.:
MinorNumber Cluster NumberOfPorts
These fields have the following values:
MinorNumber | Specifies the board's minor device number. |
Cluster | This field is always 1. |
The configuration file also supports comments. Comment lines begin with a # (pound sign). Everything to the right of the comment character is ignored. Comment lines end with new-line characters.
This command returns the following exit values:
0 | Successful completion. |
>0 | An error occurred. |
Access Control: You must have root authority to run this command.
To load the system configuration and use the default driver configuration file, enter:
hty_load -d /dev/rhp0
/usr/bin/hty_load | Contains the hty_load command. |
/etc/rc.ntx | Invokes the hty_load command. |
