NAME
dc - serial line/mouse/keyboard
SYNOPSIS
controller dc0 at ibus0 slot 0 vector dcintr
DESCRIPTION
The dc serial line controller provides DECstation 2100, DECstation
3100, DECstation 5000, and DECstation 5100 computer systems with key-
board, mouse, and serial communications interfaces. The serial communi-
cations interfaces on the DECstation 2100 and DECstation 3100 provide
partial modem control. The serial communications interfaces on the DEC-
station 5000 provide full modem control. The device special file
/dev/tty01 on a DECstation 5100 provides full modem control, while the
remaining ports provide no modem control at all. All serial communica-
tions interfaces operate at baud rates from B50 to B9600, excluding
B200.
The dc ports are used as follows: Usage Graphics device keyboard at
4800 BPS Mouse or tablet at 4800 BPS Communications port 1 (w/modem
control)/local terminal Communications port 2 (w/modem control)/local
terminal
On all systems except the DECstation 5100, serial port 2 is used for
the system console port in server (that is, non-graphics) configura-
tions. On DECstation 5100s, the serial port labeled 3 on the back of
the system is always the system console port. The serial system con-
sole port always operates at 9600 BPS, 8-bits, no parity; modem control
is not supported.
RESTRICTIONS
Data communications equipment attached to the console serial port in
server configurations must be set to 9600 BPS, 8-bits, no parity. The
scc driver enforces this restriction.
