establishing a connection to a UPS

Hello OSF/1 Managers.

I have a DEC 3000/500 running OSF/1 v. 1.3 and I am trying to establish a
serial port connection to a BEST Power Technology FORTRESS Uninteruptable
Power Backup Unit in order to run their automatic shutdown software.

The software installation says to disable a serial port for login that the
UPS is connected to. It suggests turning getty off on that port by modifying
the inittab file or by another means if necessary.

First of all, I am not sure of the syntax to use in the inittab file to
disable the port. Also, is there anything I need to do in order to establish
the port before disabling it? Is the device name tty01 or tty00?

Thanks in advance.
