LINUX
1. Login as super-user (SU) or root.
2. Change your directory to root and copy the driver diskette to the system:
# cd /
# tar xvf /dev/fd0
3. Change the directory to /etc/pciport and run the Install command:
# cd /etc/pciport
# ./Install
4. Follow the prompts to perform the following:
• Choose your Linux kernel version
• Rebuild your system
• Exit and reboot with new settings
The device name will be /dev/tty8[1--2] [a--h]
Card Definitions
Note: Card 1 is the card with the jumper ON.
I/O Port Number Definitions
For example, the device named /dev/tty82b is the device plugged into port B on card
Number 2.
Notes:
• The above installation procedure installs a module type driver. If you can not install
the driver successfully, you may need to use a kernel type driver. You will need to
enter the Build directory and run Install again. In kernel type drivers, you may need
to have the full source file for the Linux system to be re-compiled.
• Each serial card needs an open IRQ for Plug and Play function.
