You need to set the line discipline first. Try the 'stty' command, as in

   stty 9600 </dev/ttyR5

You will need to set things like speed, word size, parity bits, and flow
control (in-band via xon/xoff or out-of-band via hardware (dtr)).

You could also muck with your /etc/ttytype file and the system will use
those for defaults.
