The numbers in the square brackets represent line number on the virtual PBXDA adapter starting from 0.

Controller typeMaximum number of lines
PBXDA 2

Note

DIGI drivers for OpenVMS and Tru64 are sensitive to PBXDA location on PCI, therefore it is recommended to fix PBXDA location with explcit configuration.

For exampleExample:

load

PBXDA

TXA

bus=pci_1

device=4

function=0

port

Parameterport

line

  • "/dev/tty<N>"
Virtual
  • for virtual console
  • "/dev/ttyS<N>"
Onboard
  • for onboard serial lines
  • "/dev/ttyUSB<N>"
Modem
  • for modem or USB serial lines adapters
  • "/dev/tty<XXX>"
Proprietary
  • for proprietary (depending on a driver) devices such as DIGI or MOXA cards

Example:

set TXA line[2]="/dev/ttyS1"


Parameterline
TypeText string
Value

A defined TTY port on host system:

SyntaxDescription
Note

If a virtual console "/dev/tty<N>" is going to be used, it must be freed from all the processes running on it at first. Refer to your OS documentation for details, also some description on how to do it is available here.


Note

A specific account for running CHARON ("charon") does not allow usage of physical consoles "/dev/tty<N>" as CHARON consoles. If you plan to map CHARON console to "/dev/tty<N>" use only "root" account for CHARON running.

"ttyY" notation specifics

Note that the "ttyY" notation can have different forms depending on the nature of the device used:

MappingTypeCommentary

"/dev/tty<N>"

where N is from 0 to 11

Linux virtual tty

Those tty devices must be free from the Linux "getty/mgetty" and similar programs (specified in "/etc/inittab")

Example:

"/dev/tty1"

"/dev/ttyS<N>"

where N is a number

Onboard serial lines

Example:

"/dev/ttyS1"

"/dev/tty<XXX>"

where XXX is a complex letter/number notation

Proprietary (depending on a driver) devices 

Example for a first port of a MOXA card:

"/dev/ttyR01"

Example for a first port of a DIGI card:

"/dev/ttyaa"

"/dev/ttyUSB<N>"

where N is a number

Modem or USB serial lines adapters

Example:

"/dev/ttyUSB1"
