Setting com port questions
I have a piece of equipment, a Baytech RPC-3, that I need to communicate with through the com port.
I normally use this equipment at home and am able to connect to it without problems using FC5 and minicom; I brought the equipment into work and cannot get my pc, using Suse 10 and minicom to communicate with it.
Settings for minicom are the same on each machine. The main difference between the machines is that on the FC5 machine I have two com ports and the Suse machine only has one com port. I have tried both ttyS0 and ttyS1 as the serial device setting on minicom without any success.

The RPC-3 has indicator lights for troubleshooting, and indicates that there is a "Cable or hub connection fault".

Running setserial in the Suse box gives the following information:
sport:/home/thumper # setserial -av /dev/ttyS0
/dev/ttyS0, Line 0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
Baud_base: 115200, close_delay: 50, divisor: 0
closing_wait: 3000
Flags: spd_normal skip_test

Required settings for the RPC-3 are 9600, 8N1.

I am not sure if I need to run setserial to try and set the Baud_base to 9600, and I sure dont know how to indicate the 8N1 in any config file.

Can someone point me to what I need to be looking for on this because I am pretty lost.
Thanks

iscc

iscc(7) 						 Miscellaneous Information Manual						   iscc(7)

NAME

       iscc - serial communications interface

SYNOPSIS

       controller  iscc0  at  isa0

DESCRIPTION

       An  onboard  Zilog  8530  DUART	provides  AXPvme-based Single Board Computers with console (CON) and auxiliary (AUX) serial communications
       ports.  Both serial communications ports can operate at baud rates from B50 to B38400,  excluding B134 (see tty(7)).

       On AXPvme Single Board Computers configured with a graphics head as the system console, the CON serial communications port (/dev/tty01)	is
       available for use by application programs as an additional communications port.

       In  the	absence  of a graphics head, the CON serial communications port (/dev/console) becomes the system console. When used as the serial
       system console, the CON serial communications port always operates at 9600 BPS, 8-bits, and no parity.

       Regardless of system console, the AUX serial communications port (/dev/tty00) is always available for use by application programs.

RESTRICTIONS

       Data communications equipment attached to the CON serial communications port must be set to 9600 BPS, 8-bits, no parity when configured	as
       the serial system console. The iscc terminal driver enforces this restriction.

       No modem control is supported for either the CON or AUX serial communications ports.

FILES

       console terminal local terminal local terminal
