Linus Torvalds | 1da177e | 2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 1 | The driver for the HFC-PCI and HFC-PCI-A chips from CCD may be used |
| 2 | for many OEM cards using this chips. |
| 3 | Additionally the driver has a special feature which makes it possible |
| 4 | to read the echo-channel of the isdn bus. So all frames in both directions |
| 5 | may be logged. |
| 6 | When the echo logging feature is used the number of available B-channels |
| 7 | for a HFC-PCI card is reduced to 1. Of course this is only relevant to |
| 8 | the card, not to the isdn line. |
| 9 | To activate the echo mode the following ioctls must be entered: |
| 10 | |
| 11 | hisaxctrl <driver/cardname> 10 1 |
| 12 | |
| 13 | This reduces the available channels to 1. There must not be open connections |
| 14 | through this card when entering the command. |
| 15 | And then: |
| 16 | |
| 17 | hisaxctrl <driver/cardname> 12 1 |
| 18 | |
| 19 | This enables the echo mode. If Hex logging is activated the isdnctrlx |
| 20 | devices show a output with a line beginning of HEX: for the providers |
| 21 | exchange and ECHO: for isdn devices sending to the provider. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | If more than one HFC-PCI cards are installed, a specific card may be selected |
| 24 | at the hisax module load command line. Supply the load command with the desired |
| 25 | IO-address of the desired card. |
| 26 | Example: |
| 27 | There tree cards installed in your machine at IO-base addresses 0xd000, 0xd400 |
| 28 | and 0xdc00 |
| 29 | If you want to use the card at 0xd400 standalone you should supply the insmod |
| 30 | or depmod with type=35 io=0xd400. |
| 31 | If you want to use all three cards, but the order needs to be at 0xdc00,0xd400, |
| 32 | 0xd000 you may give the parameters type=35,35,35 io=0xdc00,0xd400,0xd00 |
| 33 | Then the desired card will be the initialised in the desired order. |
| 34 | If the io parameter is used the io addresses of all used cards should be |
| 35 | supplied else the parameter is assumed 0 and a auto search for a free card is |
| 36 | invoked which may not give the wanted result. |
