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:
