Hi all,
I currently use a Dynex DX-UBDB9 adapter, which is a Prolific PL-2303 based USB-to-Serial adaptor and it seem to be working OK in almost all situations (with Sun Ray, my laptop, and so on).
I put it in the USB port #0 on a Sun Fire V240, and the server saw it:
# cd /dev/cua
# ls -al
total 18
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 512 Jan 8 14:17 .
drwxr-xr-x 17 root sys 5120 Jan 8 14:37 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 47 Jan 8 14:17 0 -> ../../devices/pci@1e,600000/usb@a/device@1:0,cu
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 51 Dec 22 10:20 a -> ../../devices/pci@1e,600000/isa@7/serial@0,3f8:a,cu
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 51 Dec 22 10:20 b -> ../../devices/pci@1e,600000/isa@7/serial@0,2e8:b,cu
It is appearing as the "0" up here. I followed the procedure on the Sun site for using a "tip" connection (the procedure is for a Edgeport device, and is described at: http://www.sun.com/io_technologies/USB-Faq.html#Serial point #4), and I added the following line to the "/etc/remote" file:
u0:\
:dv=/dev/cua/0:br#9600:el=^C^S^Q^U^D:ie=%$:oe=^D:
but I'm not able to use it for a "tip" connection yet. I get this error:
# tip u0
tip: /dev/cua/0: No such device or address
all ports busy
Is there someone here who could help me out getting a functionning "tip" session using my Prolific based USB-to-Serial adapter?
Thanks in advance!!
