NAME

       cyclades-devices - tables for driving cyclades-serial-client

DESCRIPTION

       The  cyclades-devices  file  supplies all mapping between Unix device files (/dev/*) and the addresses of serial ports of Cyclades Terminal
       Servers. It contains one entry for each serial port, with the following format:

       device:rastype:rasname:physport:type:options

       Note: A # character at beginning of line indicates a comment

       The entry fields are:

       devname
	      - A full pathname of the file that will be associated to the serial port. It must start with  a "/dev/" preffix.	Two naming schemes
	      may  be  used here: - devname does not exist, and will be linked to a free pseudo-tty. This is the default behavior of cyclades-ser-
	      cli.  - devname is the name of a valid slave pseudo-tty.	In this case, the '-t 1' option must be assigned in options field.  (Note:
	      this option is not supported by this release).

       rastype
	      - Terminal Server type: - prts, for Cyclades Pr302X/TS Terminal Servers.	- path, for Cyclades PathRAS Terminal Server.

       rasname
	      - Host Name or IP Address of the Terminal Server where the serial port resides.

       physport
	      -  Number  of physical port in the Terminal Server. If treated as the IP address associated with this port, in a IP-based addressing
	      scheme.

       type   - Server type that will be contacted to handle the serial port: - rtelnet, for Remote Telnet Server - socket, for Socket Server

       options
	      - Per-port specific options, passed to cyclades-ser-cli program.

EXAMPLES

       1. Device on a PR3020/TS Terminal Server pr3k Port 1, accessed through /dev/ctty01 device file name, using telnet protocol  (remote  telnet
       server)

       /dev/ctty01:prts:pr3k:1:rtelnet:

       2. The same device, but with an IP address pr3k_port1 associated to the serial port (IP-based port addressing)

       /dev/ctty01:prts:pr3k_port1:0:rtelnet:

       3. Device on a PathRAS Terminal Server pr3k Port 2, accessed through /dev/ctty02 device file name, using socket protocol (socket server)

       /dev/ctty02:path:pr3k:2:socket:
