Specifying the locale

Setting device character mapping

To set the character mapping for each device, log in as root, invoke the International Settings Manager, and:

  1. Select Devices from the Settings menu.

  2. Select a device to configure from the ``Device'' list.

  3. Select a device type from the ``Map file'' list and click on OK.
This specifies the mapchan(F) file to be used by the peripheral device (such as a printer or terminal). The specified device now displays or prints all characters sent to it in accordance with the selected mapchan(F) entry. See the mapchan(F) manual page for a description of the functionality provided in the individual mapchan files.


NOTE: Any serial line which is used by the UUCP system should not have an associated channel mapping.
