Re: [opensuse] Installing additional serial ports
On Feb 1, 2008 7:12 PM, Stan Goodman
I have a PCI card with two serial ports. Apparently openSuSE recognizes them, but I need to mount them explicitly. I want them to be mounted at boot. Of the three ports, I want one to be for a UPS, and another for a fax modem.
# dmesg | grep tty serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A 00:08: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A 0000:06:03.0: ttyS1 at I/O 0xb800 (irq = 19) is a ST16650V2 0000:06:03.0: ttyS2 at I/O 0xb400 (irq = 19) is a ST16650V2
Hello Stan! It seems we are running the same thing there: 3 Serial ports: SRV01 # dmesg | grep tty serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A 00:0f: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A 0000:03:00.0: ttyS1 at I/O 0xec00 (irq = 19) is a 16550A 0000:03:00.0: ttyS2 at I/O 0xec08 (irq = 19) is a 16550A One for Serial Console, one for the FaxModem and one for the UPS. I've added my brand new 2 serial port card 10 minutes ago, rebooted and just run the "faxaddmodem" of Hylafax... I just told to this script to use the ttyS1and everything has went smooth!! I had no need to run any command to "mount" the new com ports... Maybe you can try to check if the modem is working... Or if you have a nullmodem cable and you are running, like me, a serial console, you can connect the ttyS0 (I assume is for the console) to the ttyS1 (that I assume is for the faxmodem) and see if the com port is working fine! Use minicom for this test. I wish you a good luck!! -- AleXX(R) - Alessandro ICQ: 17197836 MSN: AleXX-77@HotMail.it Skype: AleXX-77 -- AleXX(R) - Alessandro ICQ: 17197836 MSN: AleXX-77@HotMail.it Skype: AleXX-77 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hello Stan! It seems we are running the same thing there: 3 Serial ports:

All this has become much clearer to me than it was before, from the replies of you and others. (Not that they haven't raised new questions =;-/8).
Maybe you can try to check if the modem is working... Or if you have a nullmodem cable and you are running, like me, a serial console, you can connect the ttyS0 (I assume is for the console) to the ttyS1 (that I assume is for the faxmodem) and see if the com port is working fine! Use minicom for this test.
Now I have no reason to think the ports aren't working. I think my trouble is now in the configurations, and I have to work on that.
I wish you a good luck!!
I will need it. And I'll be back.
