This section contains cable pinout information for serial cables that you can connect to your Octane2 workstation. It also describes SGI serial port converters. The following topics are covered:
For serial printers and dumb terminals, use a 3-wire standard PC cable. Table B-10 shows the cable connector pinout assignments for this cable.
 | Note: For a 3-wire cable and no hardware flow control modem, you must use the /dev/ttyd* command devices in the configuration files. For more detailed information, see the serial man page. To access the man page, choose Toolchest >Help > InfoSearch > Man pages. Or place the cursor in the console window and type: |
man serial |

Use a full-handshake (includes RTS and CTS) PC modem serial cable for a modem with RTS/CTS flow control. Table B-11 shows the cable connector pin assignments for this cable.
You can use this cable for all serial devices except those that do not need RTS flow control. If you add a null modem adapter to one end of the cable, you can still use it with devices like serial printers and dumb terminals that do not need RTS flow control. You can purchase the full-handshake PC modem serial cable from SGI or your local service provider.
| Note: If you are attaching a modem with modem signals and RTS/CTS flow control, you must use the /dev/ttyf* command devices in the configuration files. For more detailed information, see the serial man page. To access this man page, choose Toolchest > Help > InfoSearch > Man pages. Or place the cursor in the console window and type: |
man serial |
