The serialports file maps each host name to the terminal concentrator and the terminal concentrator serial port to which it is connected. Each line in this database specifies a separate serial port using the format:
hostname terminal_concentrator serial_port |
For example:
chartres cities-tc 5002 izmir cities-tc 5003 |
The serialports file is used by cconsole to determine which terminal concentrator and serial ports to connect to for the various cluster nodes that have been specified on the command line or the Select Hosts dialog.
