why can not see 'login'

[hongjing_zhang]

I dail in to R class through the LAM,
I can connected but can not see 'login'

how can I do?
please tell me the detail!

Do you have a 'getty' process for the modem port. If not this will explain why you don't get the login prompt. Has the modem port been setup correctly?
'sam' is particularly good at setting these up. Doing it by hand it is easy to forget something.

I have added modem throgh SAM but why can not see 'login' still.

Do you have a getty process running?
If so do have an entry for it in the /etc/inittab file ?

Hi,

If you have connected a modem to the access port (or have a LAM connected to it) then you will need to configure the access port to allow session mode, ie using CA to set the port parameters and DR to disable remote console access. I believe the access port was optional for the R-class.

A quick test: can you connect to the modem device file using Kermit or cu, can you send AT commands to the modem and receive the OK response? If not then you will need to configure as mentioned above.

regards,

Darren.
