actctrl - configure IBM Active 2000 ISDN adaptor
SYNOPSIS
actctrl [-d Driver-Id] action options ...
DESCRIPTION
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.
OPTIONS
-d Driver-Id
selects the S0 interface named by Driver-Id.
Driver-Ids are defined during driver initialisa
tion. See act2000(4) for a description of the syn
tax to be used for modularized and monolithic
driver versions. This option must be used to iden
tify 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 mod
ule, 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
this list, use a dash.
load firmware
downloads the firmware into the card and starts
operation. Usually the images are located in
'/usr/lib/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.
FILES
'/usr/lib/isdn'/bip1120.bpl
This is the image of the firmware designed for both
the German 1TR6 protocol and Euro ISDN.
BUGS
No bugs so far.
