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. +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr isdnctl 1 |
