The Serial Manager interface

The Serial Manager allows you to configure SCO-supported serial cards and individual serial ports. You can start the Serial Manager in any of these ways:

• Enter mkdev serial or scoadmin serial manager on the command line.

• Double-click on the System Administration icon on the Desktop, then on Hardware/Kernel Manager, and select Serial Port from the devices listed.

• Start the SCOadmin launcher by entering scoadmin on the command line, then select Hardware/Kernel Manager, and select Serial Port from the devices listed.

• Select Configure from the Ports menu in the Modem Manager.

The Serial Manager shows:

• the ``units'' (serial controllers) in use, which correspond to COM ports:

   ----------------------
   unit number   COM port
   ----------------------
        0          COM1
        1          COM2
        2          COM3
        3          COM4
  

• the dumb serial cards that are currently configured for each serial controller

• the ports that are controlled by the card that is currently highlighted

Information displayed by the Serial Manager corresponds to the output of hwconfig(C) for serial devices.
