How do we setup and connect a VT100 terminal to a QNX2 machine?
|
| Solution |
These are the steps for hooking up and running a VT100 terminal to a QNX PC.
1) Connect the two machines with a null modem cable.
2) Set STTY options +hflow +iflow +oflow +split on the QNX serial port.
If using COM2 make sure that interrupt 3 is turned on (stty inton=3).
If you are using a smartcard see the section on smartcards in the QNX
Operating System manual.
3) Set the tcap database to VT100.
tcap set vt100
tcap query should show vt100
4) Make sure that the baud rate, parity, stop bits, etc. are the same for both machines.
5) To login type a CTRL-z. If this fails try clearing the buffer with a CTRL x and a CTRL-q (unpage output). If this fails then type some letters. If they fail to echo to then re-check your serial port configuration. |
