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:
