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 ´physport´ is  assigned to
              zero, ´rasname´ will be 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:
