Adding serial terminals

Removing terminals

Before you can remove a terminal, you must disable it with the disable(C) command:

  1. Turn off the power to the terminal.

  2. Log in as root at another terminal.

  3. Use the disable command to disable the terminal:

    disable ttyname

    where ttyname is the name of the serial line to which the terminal is attached. For example:

    disable tty1a

    disables the terminal connected to serial line /dev/tty1a.

  4. Disconnect the terminal from the system.
The serial line previously connected to the terminal is now free to accept another device.
