A range of 4 successive port-addresses, whose base address can be + configured with the switches. + 2.

Initialization +depends on how the driver is built: + +Driver built into the kernel: + + The ICN driver can be configured using the commandline-feature while + loading the kernel with LILO or LOADLIN. It accepts the following syntax: + + icn=p,m[,idstring1[,idstring2]] + + where + + p = portbase (default: 0x320) + m = shared memory (default: 0xd0000) + + When using the ICN double card (4B), you MUST define TWO idstrings. + idstring must start with a character! There is no way for the driver + to distinguish between a 2B and 4B type card. Therefore, by supplying + TWO idstrings, you tell the driver that you have a 4B installed. + + If you like to use more than one card, you can use the program + "icnctrl" from the utility-package to configure additional cards. + You need to configure shared memory only once, since the icn-driver + maps all cards into the same address-space. + + Using the "icnctrl"-utility, portbase and shared memory can also be + changed during runtime. + + The D-channel protocol is configured by loading different firmware + into the card's memory using the "icnctrl"-utility. + + +Driver built as module: + + The module icn.o can be configured during "insmod'ing" it by + appending its parameters to the insmod-commandline. The following + syntax is accepted: + + portbase=p membase=m icn_id=idstring [icn_id2=idstring2] + + where p, m, idstring1 and idstring2 have the same meanings as the + parameters described for the kernel-version above. + + When using the ICN double card (4B), you MUST define TWO idstrings. + idstring must start with a character! There is no way for the driver + to distinguish between a 2B and 4B type card. Therefore, by supplying + TWO idstrings, you tell the driver that you have a 4B installed. + + Using the "icnctrl"-utility, the same features apply to the modularized + version like to the kernel-builtin one. + + The D-channel protocol is configured by loading different firmware + into the card's memory using the "icnctrl"-utility. + +Loading the firmware into the card: + + The firmware is supplied together with the isdn4k-utils package. It + can be found in the subdirectory icnctrl/firmware/ + + There are 3 files: + + loadpg.bin - Image of the bootstrap loader. + pc_1t_ca.bin - Image of firmware for german 1TR6 protocol. + pc_eu_ca.bin - Image if firmware for EDSS1 (Euro-ISDN) protocol. + + Assuming you have installed the utility-package correctly, the firmware + will be downloaded into the 2B-card using the following command: + + icnctrl -d Idstring load /etc/isdn/loadpg.bin /etc/isdn/pc_XX_ca.bin + + where XX is either "1t" or "eu", depending on the D-Channel protocol + used on your S0-bus and Idstring is the Name of the card, given during + insmod-time or (for kernel-builtin driver) on the kernel commandline. + + To load a 4B-card, the same command is used, except a second firmware + file is appended to the commandline of icnctrl. + + -> After downloading firmware, the two LEDs at the back cover of the card + (ICN-4B: 4 LEDs) must be blinking intermittently now. If a connection + is up, the corresponding led is lit continuously. + + For further documentation (adding more ICN-cards), refer to the manpage + icnctrl.8 which is included in the isdn4k-utils package. + |
