run the driver. If you prefer module driver, please refer to 3.4.
If static driver is required, please refer to 3.5.
-Dialin and callout port
------------------------
-
- This driver remains traditional serial device properties. There are
- two special file name for each serial port. One is dial-in port
- which is named "ttyMxx". For callout port, the naming convention
- is "cumxx".
+ The device node is named "ttyMxx".
Device naming when more than 2 boards installed
-----------------------------------------------
Naming convention for each Smartio/Industio multiport board is
pre-defined as below.
- ============ =============== ==============
- Board Num. Dial-in Port Callout port
- 1st board ttyM0 - ttyM7 cum0 - cum7
- 2nd board ttyM8 - ttyM15 cum8 - cum15
- 3rd board ttyM16 - ttyM23 cum16 - cum23
- 4th board ttyM24 - ttym31 cum24 - cum31
- ============ =============== ==============
-
-.. note::
-
- Under Kernel 2.6 and upper, the cum Device is Obsolete. So use ttyM*
- device instead.

- This shell script will require the major number for dial-in
- device and callout device to create tty device. You also need
- to specify the total installed MOXA board number. Default major
- numbers for dial-in device and callout device are 30, 35. If
- you need to change to other number, please refer section "3.7"
- for more detailed procedure.
- Msmknod will delete any special files occupying the same device
