actctrl - configure IBM Active 2000 ISDN adaptor
actctrl [-d Driver-Id] action options
...
actctrl is used to setup the IBM Active 2000
ISDN device driver and for downloading the firmware into the
ISDN card.
The use of actctrl makes sense, if you are using an IBM
Active 2000 card only.
- -d Driver-Id
- selects the S0 interface named by Driver-Id. Driver-Ids are defined
during driver initialisation. See act2000(4) for a description of
the syntax to be used for modularized and monolithic driver versions. This
option must be used to identify the S0 interface if more than one
S0 interface is existent. If a single IBM Active 2000 is used, it may be
omitted. If using more than one card, support for the other cards is
enabled with the add action of actctrl. Ids may not start
with digits or small x, because these values are
misinterpreted as numeric parameters by insmod. For loading the
module, always the newest modutils package should be used to avoid
problems during load.
The following actions may be given to actctrl.
- add [bus[
port[ irq[ id]]]]
- enables support for an additional card in the driver. bus is is an
integer describing the bus-type of the card. Currently, the only value
which is allowed here is 1 meaning ISA-bus. In the future, the
values 2 (for MCA) and 3 (for PCMCIA) will be available.
port is either an integer describing the base port, or the string
auto which enables autoprobing. irq is either an integer
describing the IRQ to use, the string auto, which enables grabbing
of the next free IRQ or the string none which enables polled mode
for this card. id is an arbitrary string for referencing the card
at a later time.
- dproto
protocol [msn0,msn1, ...
msn9]
- selects the D-channel protocol and defines MSN's if using Euro protocol.
protocol may be either the string 1tr6 or the string
euro. If selecting Euro protocol, a comma-separated list of up to
10 MSN's may be appended. For defining an empty entry in this list, use a
dash.
- load
firmware
- downloads the firmware into the card and starts operation. Usually the
images are located in '/lib/firmware/isdn'. The firmware is named
bip1120.bpl.
- dump
- is available if the program is configured using the --enable-dump
option only. The contents of internal driver variables is dumped on
stdout.
- '/lib/firmware/isdn'/bip1120.bpl
- This is the image of the firmware designed for both the German 1TR6
protocol and Euro ISDN.
