Contents

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  initialisation.  See
             act2000(4)  for  a  description  of  the syntax to be used for modularized and monolithic driver versions.
             This option must be used to identify the S0 interface if more than one S0 interface is existent. If a sin-
             gle  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 module, 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  may
             be appended. For defining an empty entry in this list, use a dash.
 
      load firmware
             downloads  the  firmware  into  the  card  and  starts  operation.   Usually  the  images  are  located in
             '/lib/firmware/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

      '/lib/firmware/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.
