ISDN4BSD is the work of our brand-new comitter: Hellmuth Michaelis, who has done a tremendous amount of work to bring us this far. There are still some outstanding issues and files to bring into the tree, and for now it will be needed to pick up all the extra docs from the isdn4bsd release. It is probably also a very good idea to subscribe to the isdn@freebsd.org mailing list before you try this out. These files correspond to release "beta Version 0.70.00 / December 1998" from Hellmuth.

.Sh NAME

.Nm daic
|
|
.Nd isdn4bsd driver for EICON.Diehl active isdn cards
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver supports the old Diehl active cards:
|
|
.Em S, SX, SXn, SCOM
|
|
and
|
|
.Em QUADRO.
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Use a config line like this
|
|
.Cd "daic0 at isa? iomem 0xd8000 irq 10"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For a
|
|
.Em QUADRO
|
|
card use the same, the driver will detect the board type and use
|
|
all four ports, each attached as a controller of its own to the
|
|
ISDN4BSD system, which can be listed using the isdnctl utility.
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver interfaces the isdn card to the ISDN4BSD kernel subsystem.
|
|
All lower layer isdn control is handled by the card. This should
|
|
allow you to run any national isdn protocol delivered by EICON.Diehl
|
|
for your card, but the driver has only been tested with the DSS1
|
|
protocol and some parts of the cards interface are isdn protocol
|
|
dependend.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver is written to conform to the software interface documented
|
|
by Diehl in their
|
|
.Nm ISDN-Karten Benutzerhandbuch
|
|
from 1992.
|
|
.Sh MICROCODE DOWNLOAD
|
|
Every active card needs its own operating software before it can
|
|
work. You have to download this to the card before using it with
|
|
ISDN4BSD. Use the isdnctl utility to do this, i.e. call
|
|
.Nm "isdnctl -d te_etsi.sx 1"
|
|
to download the file
|
|
.Nm te_etsi.sx
|
|
to controller number 1. Use
|
|
.Nm "isdnctl -l"
|
|
to list all available controllers (and ports). You have to select the
|
|
correct isdn protocol file for your isdn interface, see the Diehl documentation
|
|
for details.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The cards bootstrap process involves another file, which is independend
|
|
of the card type you use and the protocol you run. It is called
|
|
.Nm download.bin
|
|
in current versions of the Diehl software distribution and has to be
|
|
copied to the kernel compile directory under
|
|
.Nm dev/ic/microcode/daic
|
|
and converted into a header file used when compiling the kernel by running
|
|
.Nm make
|
|
in that directory. Your kernel compile will fail and remind you of this
|
|
if you forget to do this. Due to copright restrictions we cannot distribute
|
|
the driver with this file integrated. But if you own a card, you do have
|
|
the file (or can get it from the Diehl web server).
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The driver is not yet finished. It will only compile on NetBSD and
|
|
even there will not work. This should be fixed soon and the driver
|
|
will be ported to FreeBSD.
