    TTY PORT ADD/MODIFY

    This window contains the following fields:

    From Port

    Use this field to specify the first port number to be configured
    when you're defining new TTY's. If the TTY is already defined, you
    can leave this field blank and enter the TTY name field instead. The
    sequence for port numbering always starts at 0 (zero) not 1 (one).
    For example, if there are 16 ports on the machine, the port numbers
    will be 0 to 15.

    Check with your hardware vendor for more information on the number
    of ports and their setup.

    To Port

    Use this field to specify the last port number to be configured when
    you're defining new TTY's. If you are only configuring one TTY, you
    can leave this field blank.

    TTY Names

    You can use this field to specify the exact TTY name of a port.
    Every port on a system has a port number and a corresponding TTY
    name. If you're configuring new TTY's, leave this field blank and
    the system will assign the TTY name to each port as it is defined.

    If the previous two fields (From Port and To Port) are blank, you
    must specify the TTY name(s) in this field. Leave a blank space
    between each TTY name for multiple entries.

    Device Type

    Use this field to choose the type of device which will be added.
    Click on the left mouse button and a list of available device types
    will appear. You can choose one of the four standard device types:

    + Terminal (the default)
    + Serial Printer
    + Dialin Modem
    + Dialout Modem

    Note: Because each device type has unique characteristics, it is
    important you select the correct device type. If the wrong device
    type is chosen, the port may not react as expected.

    Baud Rate

    The baud rate is the speed at which the port will send and receive
    signals. The most common speeds for dialin modems are 1200, 2400,
    4800, or 9600 baud. For terminals the most common speeds are 4800,
    9600, or 19200 baud. Click on the arrow button on the right to
    display a pick list of the baud rates and select one of them.
    Enlighten will insert your selection into this field.

    Term. Type

    When a user accesses the system from this port, the system will set
    the terminal type to whatever you specify here. Each terminal has
    its own set of characteristics, e.g., an IBM 3151 terminal emulation
    is not the same as a VT100 emulation. If the terminal type is
    unknown, specify the vt100 type.

    Note: It is important you select the correct terminal type. If the
    wrong emulation is chosen, the screen display will not work
    properly.

    Buttons

    This window contains the following buttons:

    Add

    Click on the Add button to add your TTY selection(s).

    Close

    Click on this button to discard any changes and close the window.
