15.4. Device Nodes and USB Peripherals

Sun Ray Software creates a device directory called IEEE802.MACID in the /tmp/SUNWut/units directory. This directory contains the MAC address for each client on the interconnect. The IEEE802.MACID directory for each client contains dev and devices directories. The Sun Ray dev directory contains a representation of the logical topology of the devices connected to the client. The Sun Ray devices directory contains a representation of the physical topology of some of the devices connected to the client.

Note

Sun Ray Software does not create device nodes for every USB device. Some USB device drivers export their device interfaces through other mechanisms than a traditional UNIX device node.

Directories correspond to buses and hubs, and files correspond to ports. Hub directories are named according to the port on the upstream hub into which they are attached.
