locating a serial port

[Nicky_5]

Hi

I wanted to urgently know how to check a port on HP 11.23.
I am logged in remotely (telnet) as the machine is physically located elsewhere.
it seems that the engineer has put an additional serial port into the machine, i have to see if that works (or if it can be seen)
can u tell me how i can do that.
I tried SAM, but when i go into any option under peripheral devices it gives me the error

UNEXPECTED EXIT: process LANG=C LC_ALL=C /usr/sbin/pdweb -F >/dev/null exited with a non-zero exit status.
ERROR: DISPLAY environment variable not set
Paste the URL https://nwa-sbs2:1188/common/login.cgi into a browser or set your DISPLAY variable and rerun pdweb

I used ioscan it gave me an out put, i am pasting a part of it here:

0/4/1/0 tty PCI SimpleComm (103c1290)
0/4/1/1 tty PCI Serial (103c1048)
0/4/2/0 unknown PCI Display (10025159)

Are these the serial ports?
How would a serial port look in the IOSCAN output?
Also what is the PCI Display of class unknown?

iosacn -fn|grep -i serial

Hi,

i got the foll output:
tty 2 0/4/1/1 asio0 CLAIMED INTERFACE PCI Serial (103c1048)

It says that this is an interface.. form this output does it mean that the serial port is sucessfully installed or not? how do i check the serial port of the console?

In order to check it, you will have to connect model to it, dial it and try to login. (You will have to put appropriate entries in /etc/inittab)

I do not know other way to confirm that it is working or not. (ioscan should be enough)
