console(7)
NAME
console, systty, syscon, remote − console interface
DESCRIPTION
The console provides the operator interface to the computer.
The file /dev/console is the system console, and refers to an asynchronous serial data line originating from the system board or the console processor board depending on system type. This special file implements the features described in termio(7).
The file /dev/systty is a hardlink to /dev/console.
The file /dev/syscon is typically a hardlink to /dev/console except in those cases where init(1M) links it to the current controlling terminal.
The file /dev/remote refers to a second asynchronous serial data line originating from the system board or console processor board. This special file implements the features described in termio(7).
On Series 4000 HN4800 and Series 5000 HN5800 systems, there are two serial data lines for each cpu board in the system. Therefore, the files /dev/remote2 and /dev/remote3 are for the third and fourth serial data lines that originate from the second cpu board, the files /dev/remote4 and /dev/remote5 are for the fifth and sixth serial data lines that originate from the third cpu board, and the files /dev/remote6 and /dev/remote7 are the seventh and eighth serial data lines that originate from the fourth cpu board.
