eiconctrl - configure Eicon active ISDN card
eiconctrl [-d Driver-Id] action
options ...
eiconctrl is used to setup the Eicon ISDN
device driver and for downloading the firmware into the ISDN
card.
The use of eiconctrl makes sense, if you are using an
active Eicon ISDN card only.
- -d Driver-Id
- selects the S0/S2M interface named by Driver-Id. Driver-Ids are
defined during driver initialisation. See README.eicon for a
description of the syntax to be used for modularised and monolithic driver
versions. This option must be used to identify the S0/S2M interface
if more than one S0/S2M interface is existent. If a single card is used,
it may be omitted. If using more than one ISA-Bus-type card, support for
the other cards is enabled with the add action of eiconctrl.
PCI-Bus-type cards will be automatically added during driver
initialisation. 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 eiconctrl.
- irq
[interrupt]
- sets the irq number to use (only ISA). If the interrupt value is omitted,
the current setting will be printed.
- load protocol
[options]
- Downloads the protocol- and dsp-code into the card and starts
operation.
protocol
etsi Euro-ISDN E-DSS1 (default)
1tr6 German ISDN Protocol
.... other protocols are also possible
options
For options see eiconctrl without any parameters for ISA cards and
eiconctrl divaload -h for PCI cards.
- manage
[read|exec <path>]
- Starts Management-Interface.
- xlog
[cont|<filename>]
- Retrieving XLOG entries of adapter. With option cont given, it will
be on a continuous cycle. Using a driver release 1.77 or newer you can
specify a trace-file for the xlog interpreter.
- isdnlog
[on|off]
- Switch trace-information for isdnlog on/off.
- COMMON to all
BRI-ISA
- When using BRI-PtP set -S1 -n -t0 options. Some (very rare) switches
require the -S2 here.The offset, set by the on-boards jumpers needs an
additional '0' (f.e. Cards jumper setup is 0xd800 - means a membase of
0xd8000 ).
- S SX SXn SCOM
- when loading the card's module by insmod / modprobe, you need to specify
Membase, IRQ and ID. Only the SCOM is also MCA-supported.
- S2M
- When using PRI-PtP set -n -S2
- QUADRO
- Loading this card as usual will automatically find and autoload the
remaining three cards. Don't forget to set the Membase, IRQ and ID string
using insmod or modprobe. Remember to "eiconctrl load
<card_n>" for all "four" cards manually with the
desired protocol. When setting the ID's last letter to an "a",
the remaining ID's will be continued with "b, c, d" ; Otherwise
the ID-string will add a "_2 _3 _4" to the cards
device-description.
- COMMON to all
BRI/PRI PCI
- All cards are auto detected and autoloaded w/o any parameters at
insmod/modprobe. Using more than one card in a system will require the
eiconctrl "-d" option to load the further cards. (f.e eiconctrl
-d eicon2) You can also use the -all option to get all boards loaded at
one time (divaload only). The ETSI protocol is default and is not needed
to be set as parm. Otherwise add the desired protocol to specify. The
protocolcodes are normally located at /usr/lib/isdn/eicon.
- 4BRI
- Loading this card will set the protocol to all "4 cards" same
style. You cannot load different codes. This is not a bug! The ID's are
set while loading - automatically.
- PRI
- When using PRI-PtP set -n -S2
Use option -x to set NT mode.
No bugs so far but don't hesitate to contact us in case of obvious
bug.
