Urgent - serial port
Hi All,
I am a begineer in Linux, I have 4 ports and 3 are operational port 1,port 2 and port 4 (when I plug in serial device I can see it working) but port 3 seems it is not working.
I am sure the hardware is fine.

when I give command

dmesg | grep tty

I get,
serial 8250:ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq=4)is a 16550A
serial 8250:ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq=3)is a 16550A
serial 8250:ttyS2 at I/O 0x3e8 (irq=4)is a 16550A
serial 8250:ttyS3 at I/O 0x2e8 (irq=3)is a 16550A
0:05:ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq=4) is a 16550A
0:06:ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq=3) is a 16550A
0:09:ttyS3 at I/O 0x2e8 (irq=11) is a 16550A

I also tried setserial -g /dev/ttyS2 but getting the same result

My Qustion is:
1) what is the difference b/w first 4 lines and last three lines and Y is port 3(ttyS2) not getting displayed in b/w last three lines.
2) Is there something I have to do to enable port 3.
2)Please help me out to get the port 3 into working condition


Thanks in advance

statserial

STATSERIAL(1)							   User Commands						     STATSERIAL(1)

NAME

       statserial - display serial port modem status lines

SYNOPSIS

       statserial [-n |  -d | -x] <device-name>

DESCRIPTION

       Statserial displays a table of the signals on a standard 9-pin or 25-pin serial port, and indicates the status of the handshaking lines. It
       can be useful for debugging problems with serial ports or modems.

       The optional device-name parameter is the full name of the device file for the serial port in question. If not specified,  the  default	is
       taken from the environment variable MODEM if set, otherwise /dev/cua1.

COMMAND-LINE OPTIONS
       Each of the command line options is mutually exclusive.

       -n   Normally  statserial  will loop continuously, updating the status at one second intervals; you can exit using Control-C. The -n option
	    disables looping.

       -d

	    With this option the status of the modem is printed as a decimal number. The bits are encoded as follows (XXX indicates unused bits):

	    +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
	    | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
	    +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
	    |DSR|RI |DCD|CTS|XXX|XXX|RTS|DTR|XXX|
	    +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+

       -x   This option is the same as -d, except that the output is in hexadecimal.

BUGS
/LIMITATIONS
       Statserial only works with devices that support the TIOCMGET ioctl.

       You need permission to read the device file.

       The device file may be locked if other applications are using it.
