Adding serial terminals
Adding
terminals lets more users access the system and adds to
overall system capabilities.
This chapter explains how to:
Before you add a serial terminal to your system, follow the
instructions in your terminal's manual for
connecting the terminal to a serial line. (If you add a
serial card, the possible names of the additional device
files are listed in
serial(HW)
or in the documentation for cards that include driver
software.)
Many types of terminals are supported; see the
terminals(M)
manual page for a comprehensive list.
Support for terminals is provided through the
terminfo(M)
database, which contains the definitions and
classifications of keystrokes and control sequences which
vary from terminal to terminal. For a description of the
terminfo database, see the
terminfo(M)
and
terminfo(F)
manual pages.
