Installation Notes

System Requirements


To install TTYredirector:

  • The target computer must be running a Linux x86 distribution. Examples include Red Hat, Fedora Core, SUSE, Debian and Ubuntu.

  • The target computer processor can be 32-bit x86 or 64-bit x86.
  • Linux must provide Unix98 pty devices, which are present by default for most Linux distributions. The TTYredirector installer will inform you if they are not present.

To use TTYredirector with networked device servers:

  • Device servers (serial servers, modem pools) must accept TCP/IP connections for access to their devices.

  • Your network (including any firewalls) must permit TCP connections to device servers on the TCP port numbers that the server uses for device access.
