Problem adding tty port using 128 Port Async Adapter with 16 port Async Node

Post by Lance Adam » Fri, 28 Aug 1998 04:00:00



This system is  43P-140 AIX 4.2.1.x  with PCI 128 port Async. with 2 16 port
RAN EIA-232

I am tring to add tty ports to my ran system.  When I go to to smit

1)smitty tty
2)Add a TTY
3)tty rs232 Asynchronous Terminal
4)sa3 Available 04-05-22 16-Port RAN EIA-232 for 128-Port Adapter

I then get this error message
1800-109 There are currently no additional
SMIT screen entries available fo this
item  This item may require installation of
additional software before it can be accessed.

I have these files loaded

  devices.pci.4f111b00.asw   4.2.1.0  COMMITTED  PCI 128-Port Asynchronous
  devices.pci.4f111b00.diag  4.2.1.2  COMMITTED  RISC PC PCI Async 128 Port
  devices.pci.4f111b00.rte   4.2.1.2  COMMITTED  PCI 128-Port Asynchronous
  devices.pci.4f111b00.rte   4.2.1.0  COMMITTED  PCI 128-Port Asynchronous
  devices.common.IBM.cx.rte 4.2.1.2 COMMITTED CX Common Adapter Software

 I noticed devices.pci.4f111b00.rte   4.2.1.0 is defferent version I 4.2.1.2
from
 ibm web site but failed know how to get it to load twice (newbie).

I also notice I have devices.pci.4f111100.com 4.2.1.2 COMMITTED PCI 8-Port
Asynchronous Adapter
Can not uloaded this smit deinstall reports dependents for these

devices.pci.4f111b00.rte   4.2.1.0  COMMITTED  PCI 128-Port Asynchronous
devices.pci.4f111b00.diag  4.2.1.2  COMMITTED  RISC PC PCI Async 128 Port

This may be were the problem is.

Thanks for any help,

This may not be the ideal answer, but it will work:

First try installing this from the Additional Device Software CD:

        devices.common.IBM.cx.rte

Also select the 128-port PCI (4f111b00) section while you are at it
just to make sure you will be at the latest drivers.

If that doesn't do it, then install the PCI 8-Port Asynchronous
adapter stuff (4f111100).  That will give you the smit screens
for the 128-Port card.

1. 128-port Asynch Controller & Enhanced Remote Async Node 16 port

Using cu to evaluate the top speed of the port may lead you to think
that the port is not as capable as it is. Find a better measure!
