Simplified Chinese Solaris System Administrator's Guide

Chapter 4 TTY Environment and Support

This chapter assumes you are familiar with:

Refer to the termio(7) man pages for background information on STREAMS and TTY drivers.

Terminal Support

The Simplified Chinese Solaris operating environment supports Chinese terminals (EUC-GB). The terminals should have built-in Simplified Chinese fonts and input methods.

Installing a Terminal

If you have not added a terminal to your system before, first try installing a terminal in ASCII mode only. For more information, see System Administration Guide.

Serial Port Interface for Adding Terminals

Serial Ports is available from the Admintool menu to configure serial ports for terminals. Serial Ports provides the easiest method of installing a terminal. Serial Ports is invoked by admintool. For more information on admintool, see System Administration Guide.

Accessing Serial Ports

  1. Become superuser. 


    system% su

  2. Type admintool.

    The admintool menu will appear. 


    system# admintool

  3. Select the Serial Ports icon.

Using Serial Ports Menus

A Chinese terminal is installed as you would install an ASCII terminal.

  1. Select Edit on the Serial Ports menu.

    Serial Ports: Modify Service submenu appears.

  2. On Admintool: Modify Service submenu select Enabled, Baud Rate 9600, and enter the terminal type.

Using the Command Line Interface to Add Terminals

The following procedure is required to set up a terminal on ttya port via the command line:

  1. Determine the port monitor version number.

    The port monitor version number will display. 


    # ttyadm -V

  2. Enter the following commands, substituting the port monitor version number for ver.

    (For more information on sacadm (1M) and pmadm (1M) , see their man pages.) 


    # pmadm -r -p zsmon -s ttya
# sacadm -a -p zsmon -t ttymon -c /usr/lib/saf/ttymon -v ver

  3. Use the pmadm command that matches your terminal type to add a login service:

    For EUC terminals, use the following command:


    # pmadm -a -p zsmon -s ttya -i root -fu -v ver -m "`ttyadm -S y \
  -T terminal_type -d /dev/ttya -l 9600 -m ldterm,ttcompat -s \
  /usr/bin/login`"

  4. Turn on the terminal.

    Follow the documentation that accompanies the terminal.

  5. Log in the terminal.

  6. Check the correctness of the installation:


    # setenv LANG locale
# /bin/stty cs8 -istrip defeucw
    Note -

    These values show that the operating system is set to communicate with the terminal in "8-bit no-parity" mode. Make sure the terminal is set up in "8-bit no-parity" mode. Refer to the terminal's setup manual for the proper way to set terminal options.

Setting a User's TTY

To verify that your TTY is properly set up:

  1. Type the /bin/stty command with the -a option:


    system% /bin/stty -a

  2. If the values from above (cs8, -istrip) are not listed, then use the following command to set them:


    system% /bin/stty cs8 -istrip defeucw

    This is the last step in setting up a terminal.
