CN2610 User’s Manual Setting Up Multi-Host TTY

10-9

Transparent Printer Access

It’s not necessary to add additional entries to /etc/inittab for printer access, as mentioned in

the section on terminal access. Since Fixed TTY driver is a fixed pseudo tty, you can easily

connect a serial printer to a Moxa CN2510 serial port to execute printing commands.

The following example is for SCO OpenServer:

Command Description

/usr/lib/lpadmin –pLaser1 -v/dev/ttyp1

set printer name as Laser1 and use ttyp1

/usr/lib/accept Laser1

accept printer Laser1

enable Laser1

enable printer Laser1

lp -dLaser1 file_name

print file to Laser1

Other Applications

As mentioned earlier, the system setup depends on which application you are using. Since Fixed

TTY driver is a fixed pseudo tty, no additional setup is required to enable your applications to

open tty devices.

Using Fixed TTY Driver

Starting Fixed TTY driver

Once you have completed the above settings, you can start. Follow the steps given below to ensure

that driver is running correctly.

See if the entries added to moxattyd.cf are correct.

Run init q or reboot your system to start the moxattyd daemon. If you see that moxattyd is

running on your system, then Fixed TTY driver has been successfully started.

Stopping Fixed TTY driver

If for any reason you need to stop the moxattyd daemon, the two methods listed below allow

you to stop the moxattyd daemon process

1. Remove entries related to moxattyd daemon in /etc/inittab and execute init q or

reboot your system, or

2. Replace respawn with off in entries related to moxattyd daemon in /etc/inittab,

and execute init q or reboot your system.

For instance, ‘ts:2:off:/usr/etc/moxattyd/moxattyd’.
