The PortServer TS 8/16 MEI settings are configured through the software. Complete the Quick Start Guide and go to the User's Guide for the procedure to configure the MEI ports. The ports are set to EIA-232 by default. If your device is not EIA-232, configure the MEI settings immediately after completing the Quick Start. The default settings will not harm your device, however, we recommend configuring the MEI settings immediately as a precaution.

Determine your CD device
Common names for CD-ROM devices:
NAME | EXAMPLE |
/dev/cdrom | /dev/cdrom |
/dev/cdrom/cdromn | /dev/cdrom/cdrom1 |
/dev/cdn | /dev/cd0 |
/dev/dsk/cktmdn | /dev/c1t2d0 |
To list descriptions of devices: AIX: lscfg
HPUX: - Make sure you have administrator privileges and your PATH includes /usr/sbin
ioscan -funC disk
Solaris: Most Solaris systems use an auto-mounter. See the man page on vold: man vold
If your system auto mounts the CD, skip to step 5. Auto Mount programs may use the volume information to define a mount point. If the CD volume label is 'Digi' then the mount point may be /cdrom/digi
3
Identify the mount-directory.
Some common pre-existing mount points:
/mnt/cdrom /cdrom
Or create your own: mkdir /mnt/mycdrom
HPUX - Check to see if pfs is running ps -ef | grep pfs
If not, start the daemons: pfs_mountd&; pfsd&
4
Mount the CD by entering one of the commands from the following table:
Operating | Command | |||
System | ||||
AIX | mount -r-v cdrfs device mount-directory | |||
*HPUX | do not use mount, it will not operate correctly | |||
pfs_mount device mount-directory | ||||
See man pages for pfs and pfs_mount for more | ||||
information. | ||||
Linux | mount device mount-directory | |||
SCO | mount -r-F cdfs device mount-directory | |||
UnixWare | ||||
SCO | mount -r-f ISO9660 device mount-directory | |||
OpenServer | ||||
Solaris | mount -F hsfs device mount-directory | |||
(Intel & | Most systems use an auto-mounter. See the man page | |||
SPARC) | on vold: man vold | |||
device is the path to the device file assigned to the cdrom drive, mount-directoryis the directory where the Digi CD is mounted
*HPUX When finished, leave the CD directory and pfs_umount cd
pfs_umount mount-directory
(If you inadvertenly use umount instead of pfs_umount, kill the pfs daemons to remove the CD-ROM.)
5
Navigate to mounted CD directory, enter: ./setup
If you see DISPLAY permission errors when running the CD, you may want to verify your DISPLAY variable is set. To set the DISPLAY variable:
DISPLAY=localhost:0.0; export DISPLAY
AND/OR xhost +localhost

DCD on pin 1, you must turn on altpin. If altpin is turned off, the hardware signal on pin 1 becomes DSR instead of | |
DCD. This alternative can be used if DCD is not required, and DSR is needed instead. Configure the altpin through | |
the web interface or the command line. See the User's Guide, MEI chapter or the set flow command in the Command | |
Reference on the Digi CD under Documentation for more information about setting the altpin. |
