Serial Ports

[Scott McDade]

Hello:

I am trying to figure out what the port address for the 2 serial ports on my workstation. I do a ll on /dev/ but I can't make out which are the serial ports. Any suggestions?

[Reshma Malusare]

The file /etc/services associates official service names and aliases with the port number and protocol the services use. For each service a single line should be present with the following information:



Port numbers 0 through 1023 are assigned by RFC 1700. This RFC also lists the conventional use of various ports with numbers greater than 1023.

Regards,
Reshma

Look for /dev/tty*

Note: /dev/tty is a pseudodevice and is not what you are looking for. Since you don't bother to identify your hardware or OS version, it's a bit difficult to simply use "The Force". You may need to go into SAM -> Peripheral Devices -> Terminals & Modems and add a device first.

Hi Scott,

It would really help to supply the OS and workstation model. However, ioscan -funCtty should help you identify the ports.

regards,

Darren.

Sorry ya'll I know better. The OS is 11i and the HW is a HP C37500.

Thanks in advance.
