The device is PortServer TS16 for network, I find that sometimes I open(/dev/ttyaa00, 115200, 8, 1, 0) error, and the return value is 22(Invalid argument), and open it again the error is 11(Resource temporarily unavailable), the /dev/ttyaa00 has been closed before that operation and return 0. This happens very frequently. I don’t know what’s the reason. Can you help me??? thank you very much.

What operating system version are you using?
What driver version are you using?
Does fuser /dev/ttyaa00 show processes?
If you telnet to the PortServer, login as root and issue the who command, is anything running on the port?
os:Fedora 8,
driver:40002086_P.src.rpm
This time the error happens to the /dev/ttyaa01
fuser /dev/ttyaa01 nothing
telnet who
TTY user Connected from Connected to session
2 logging in 0
17 root 10.85.7.173 local shell 0
You will need to configure the ports on the unit for use with the RealPort driver. Telnet to the unit, login as root and issue the following:
#> set port dev=rp range=*
The unit should be rebooted afterwards for the change to take effect:
#> boot action=reset
ok, I will try it later.
Is this “set tcp realport=771” needed??
could you tell me what is the realport??
And if I do not config like this, why the problem happens that port is opened with errors as described frequently but sometimes correctly ???
I will tell you the result! thank you very much!

The driver you are using is called RealPort. When using RealPort (to obtain tty devices), you will need to change the port dev/profile type to “rp”.
The default dev/profile is “term”. The term setting forces a login prompt from the PortServer unit. This will cause a race condition with the RealPort host - whoever gets to the port first wins!
You do not need to apply the “set tcp” command.
oh, Could you tell me what dose it mean that “2; no user; no connect from; logging in; 0” when the open error happened. Why dose the error not happen at first, but after working for a while??
If the port is set to “term” the login will spawn at random, causing the behavior you are reporting.
The dev=rp setting will turn off the login, allowing full control for the Realport host - ttyx## device.
OK, I have done as you described but how can I confirm the type setting is rp ??? I log on the web of the serial port (http://10.85.7.115/)with root, and find the setting of each port the type of realport, terminal, …, not anyone selected. Should I set every port type to realport at the web???

Any ports that you want to access from the Unix host (ttyx##) will need to have the RealPort setting applied.
Do you mean that I only do “set #> set port dev=rp range=*
#> boot action=reset” is not enough??? I must set the every port setting to real port by web GUI??? If I don’t config every port on web, the problem will come out again randomly?? But the '’ in the command "set port dev=rp range=" is not to all the ports???
set port dev=rp range=* will change the setting for all ports.
