You can get the ICN-ISDN-card from:

The card communicates with the PC by two interfaces:
|
| 16 |
|
|
1. A range of 4 successive port-addresses, whose base address can be
|
| 17 |
|
|
configured with the switches.
|
| 18 |
|
|
2. A memory window with 16KB-256KB size, which can be setup in 16k steps
|
| 19 |
|
|
over the whole range of 16MB. Isdn4linux only uses a 16k window.
|
| 20 |
|
|
The base address of the window can be configured when loading
|
| 21 |
|
|
the lowlevel-module (see README). If using more than one card,
|
| 22 |
|
|
all cards are mapped to the same window and activated as needed.
|
| 23 |
|
|
|

|
|
Setting up the IO-address dipswitches for the ICN-ISDN-card:
|
| 25 |
|
|
|
| 26 |
|
|
Two types of cards exist, one with dip-switches and one with
|
| 27 |
|
|
hook-switches.
|
| 28 |
|
|
|
| 29 |
|
|
1. Setting for the card with hook-switches:
|
| 30 |
|
|
|
| 31 |
|
|
(0 = switch closed, 1 = switch open)
|
| 32 |

The ICN driver either may be build into kernel or as a module. Initialization
|
| 66 |
|
|
depends on how the drive is built:
|
| 67 |
|
|
|
| 68 |
|
|
Driver built into the kernel:
|
| 69 |
|
|
|
| 70 |
|
|
The ICN driver can be configured using the commandline-feature while
|
| 71 |
|
|
loading the kernel with LILO or LOADLIN. It accepts the following syntax:
|
| 72 |
|
|
|
| 73 |
|
|
icn=p,m[,idstring1[,idstring2]]
|
| 74 |
|
|
|
| 75 |
|
|
where
|
| 76 |
|
|
|
| 77 |
|
|
p = portbase (default: 0x320)
|
| 78 |
|
|
m = shared memory (default: 0xd0000)
|
| 79 |
|
|
|
| 80 |
|
|
When using the ICN double card (4B), you MUST define TWO idstrings.
|
| 81 |
|
|
idstring must start with a character! There is no way for the driver
|
| 82 |
|
|
to distinguish between a 2B and 4B type card. Therefore, by supplying
|
| 83 |
|
|
TWO idstrings, you tell the driver that you have a 4B installed.
|
| 84 |
|
|
|
| 85 |
|
|
If you like to use more than one card, you can use the program
|
| 86 |
|
|
"icnctrl" from the utility-package to configure additional cards.
|
| 87 |
|
|
You need to configure shared memory only once, since the icn-driver
|
| 88 |
|
|
maps all cards into the same address-space.
|
| 89 |
|
|
|
| 90 |
|
|
Using the "icnctrl"-utility, portbase and shared memory can also be
|
| 91 |
|
|
changed during runtime.
|
| 92 |
|
|
|
| 93 |
|
|
The D-channel protocol is configured by loading different firmware
|
| 94 |
|
|
into the card's memory using the "icnctrl"-utility.
|
| 95 |
|
|
|
| 96 |
|
|
|
| 97 |
|
|
Driver built as module:
|
| 98 |
|
|
|
| 99 |
|
|
The module icn.o can be configured during "insmod'ing" it by
|
| 100 |
|
|
appending its parameters to the insmod-commandline. The following
|
| 101 |
|
|
syntax is accepted:
|
| 102 |
|
|
|
| 103 |
|
|
portbase=p membase=m icn_id=idstring [icn_id2=idstring2]
|
| 104 |
|
|
|
| 105 |
|
|
where p, m, idstring1 and idstring2 have the same meanings like
|
| 106 |
|
|
parameters described for the kernel-version above.
|
| 107 |
|
|
|
| 108 |
|
|
When using the ICN double card (4B), you MUST define TWO idstrings.
|
| 109 |
|
|
idstring must start with a character! There is no way for the driver
|
| 110 |
|
|
to distinguish between a 2B and 4B type card. Therefore, by supplying
|
| 111 |
|
|
TWO idstrings, you tell the driver that you have a 4B installed.
|
| 112 |
|
|
|
| 113 |
|
|
Using the "icnctrl"-utility, the same features apply to the modularized
|
| 114 |
|
|
version like to the kernel-builtin one.
|
| 115 |
|
|
|
| 116 |
|
|
The D-channel protocol is configured by loading different firmware
|
| 117 |
|
|
into the card's memory using the "icnctrl"-utility.
|
| 118 |
|
|
|
| 119 |
|
|
Loading the firmware into the card:
|
| 120 |
|
|
|
| 121 |
|
|
The firmware is supplied together with the isdn4k-utils package. It
|
| 122 |
|
|
can be found in the subdirectory icnctrl/firmware/
|
| 123 |
|
|
|
| 124 |
|
|
There are 3 files:
|
| 125 |
|
|
|
| 126 |
|
|
loadpg.bin - Image of the bootstrap loader.
|
| 127 |
|
|
pc_1t_ca.bin - Image of firmware for german 1TR6 protocol.
|
| 128 |
|
|
pc_eu_ca.bin - Image if firmware for EDSS1 (Euro-ISDN) protocol.
|
| 129 |
|
|
|
| 130 |
|
|
Assumed you have installed the utility-package correctly, the firmware
|
| 131 |
|
|
will be downloaded into the 2B-card using the following command:
|
| 132 |
|
|
|
| 133 |
|
|
icnctrl -d Idstring load /etc/isdn/loadpg.bin /etc/isdn/pc_XX_ca.bin
|
| 134 |
|
|
|
| 135 |
|
|
where XX is either "1t" or "eu", depending of the D-Channel protocol
|
| 136 |
|
|
used on your S0-bus and Idstring is the Name of the card, given during
|
| 137 |
|
|
insmod-time or (for kernel-builtin driver) on the kernel commandline.
|
| 138 |
|
|
|
| 139 |
|
|
To load a 4B-card, the same command is used, except a second firmware
|
| 140 |
|
|
file is appended to the commandline of icnctrl.
|
| 141 |
|
|
|
| 142 |
|
|
-> After dowloading firmware, the two LEDs at the back cover of the card
|
| 143 |
|
|
(ICN-4B: 4 LEDs) must be blinking intermittently now. If a connection
|
| 144 |
|
|
is up, the corresponding led is lit continuously.
|
| 145 |
|
|
|
| 146 |
|
|
For further documentation (adding more ICN-cards), refer to the manpage
|
| 147 |
|
|
icnctrl.8 which is included in the isdn4k-utils package.
