Successful loading of this driver and its services depends on the EEPROM or NVRAM settings
in effect at the most recent system reboot. Without the platform firmware
support, this feature cannot be enabled. Currently, this support is provided
only on a NetraCT product family.
Use caution when enabling this feature to perform console input multiplexing,
particularly during super-user login. Because no security measures are enabled
when the driver is in operation, you must clearly understand the security
implications involved in using this feature and take appropriate measures
to provide maximum protection to the host. This can include such steps as
enabling input to physically secured console devices only.
The ttymux driver does not handle the behavioral
differences in control characteristics of different terminal types (for example,
an ESCAPE sequence.) As a result, multiple terminal types are
not supported simultaneously. Please refer to the platform user guide for
more information.
