A.5.1 To Enable Braille on Solaris Systems

To configure the serial port to which the Braille device is connected on Solaris systems, perform the following steps:

  1. Log in as the root user.

  2. Enter the following command:

    chmod 777 /dev/cua/a

  3. Enter the following command:

    chmod 777 /dev/cua/b

  4. Change the permissions to 777 on the devices to which the symbolic links /dev/cua/a and /dev/cua/b point.


Note –

If your system uses /dev/cua/a for system log messages, Braille will not work on that serial port. Use /dev/cua/b instead.
