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.
