     SerialDeviceManager - serial device manager

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     /usr/sysadm/bin/runcatalog
     /usr/sysadm/catalogdf/SaSerialDeviceCatatog.cdf

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     Managers display information about	your system and	provide	access to
     interactive guides	(also called tasks) that let you administer your
     system.  For example, the User Manager displays a list of the user
     accounts currently	on the system and gives	you access to guides like "Add
     a User Account" and "Modify a User	Account."

     In	a Manager window, you can open a guide by choosing its name from the
     Task menu or by clicking its button at the	bottom of the window.

     The serial	device manager displays	an icon	for each serial	port on	the
     system.  The icon represents the device attached to that port.  The
     serial device manager gets	its information	from the inittab(4) file, the
     /dev/input	directory (see input(7)), and from the configuration files in
     /etc/uucp (see cu(1C)).

GUIDES    [Toc]    [Back]

     Guides, also called "tasks," are interactive windows that lead users
     through the steps necessary to perform various system administration
     tasks, such as adding new user accounts and configuring networking	on the
     system.

     A guide typically consists	of a series of pages that prompt users to
     enter information or select options. A user navigates through guide pages
     using the Prev and	Next buttons (or corresponding arrow keys).  When the
     user reaches the last page	of a guide and clicks the OK button, the
     system executes one or more privileged commands to	perform	the system
     administration task. These	commands are located in	/usr/sysadm/privcmd.
     See runpriv(1M) for more information about	privileged commands.

     Many of the guides	require	that a user either know	the root password or
     be	assigned the necessary privileges (using the PrivilegeManager(1)) in
     order to perform the task.

     Add a Serial Device    [Toc]    [Back]
	       This guide lets you configure a serial port for use by a
	       terminal, optional input	device,	or midi.  The privilege	needed
	       for this	task is: Add Serial Device (addSerialDevice(1M)).

     Remove a Serial Device    [Toc]    [Back]
	       This guide lets you unconfigure a serial	port configured	for a
	       terminal, an optional input device, or midi.  The privilege
	       needed for this task is:	Delete Serial Device
	       (deleteSerialDevice(1M)).
