I use Edgeport units (the quad model) on Sun Ray 1s with good

Thanks for the info. Glad to hear they work.
If you have a moment, could you let me know where you found docs on
configuration/setup.
I don't think I ever even looked. I saw the make and model number
in the supported hardware list, I scored one (the first one) on eBay
for $15, it arrived, I plugged it in, and I had device nodes in /tmp/
SUNWut/sessions/$SUNRAY_NUM/unit/dev/term.
I am trying to find answers to following
questions:
When connecting the Edgeport to the Sun Ray are there nodes created in
the /tmp/SUNWut/units/.../dev directory?
No, they're in /tmp/SUNWut/sessions/$SUNRAY_NUM/unit/dev/term,
like this (sorry for the line wrappage):
apophis$ ls -l /tmp/SUNWut/sessions/2/unit/dev/term
total 0
crw------- 1 root root 319, 131072 Oct 3 22:13
Inside_Out_Networks.V12979460+AAAAAAAA-a
crw------- 1 root root 319, 131073 Oct 3 22:13
Inside_Out_Networks.V12979460+AAAAAAAA-b
crw------- 1 root root 319, 131074 Oct 3 22:13
Inside_Out_Networks.V12979460+AAAAAAAA-c
crw------- 1 root root 319, 131075 Oct 3 22:13
Inside_Out_Networks.V12979460+AAAAAAAA-d
apophis$
Here's a snippet of a .bashrc file that I use to create
environment variables in the form of $TTYA, $TTYB, etc:
------------------------
SUNRAY_DEV_PATH=/tmp/SUNWut/sessions/$SUNRAY_NUM/unit/dev
rm -f ~/.srdev
ln -s $SUNRAY_DEV_PATH ~/.srdev
TTYA=`ls $SUNRAY_DEV_TERM_PATH/term/Inside_Out_Networks.*-a 2> /
dev/null`
TTYB=`ls $SUNRAY_DEV_TERM_PATH/term/Inside_Out_Networks.*-b 2> /
dev/null`
TTYC=`ls $SUNRAY_DEV_TERM_PATH/term/Inside_Out_Networks.*-c 2> /
dev/null`
TTYD=`ls $SUNRAY_DEV_TERM_PATH/term/Inside_Out_Networks.*-d 2> /
dev/null`
------------------------
Did you need to install drivers or perform other configuration steps
so that you could send data via the Edgeport?
Nope. They just showed up as serial ports on the host machine.
As if by magic. :)
