6 This document describes the eicon driver for the
7 Eicon active ISDN cards.
8
9 It is meant to be used with isdn4linux, an ISDN link-level module for Linux.

27 Supported Cards
28 ===============
29
30 Old ISA type
31 ------------
32 - S-Card ISA
33 - SX-Card ISA
34 - SXn-Card ISA
35 - SCOM-Card ISA
36 - Quadro-Card ISA
37 - S2M-Card ISA
38
39 DIVA Server family
40 ------------------
41 - DIVA Server BRI/PCI 2M
42 - DIVA Server PRI/PCI 2M (9M 23M 30M)
43 - DIVA Server 4BRI/PCI
44 supported functions of onboard DSPs:
45 - analog modem
46 - fax group 2/3 (Fax Class 2 commands)
47 - DTMF detection
48
49
50 ISDN D-Channel Protocols
51 ------------------------
52
53 - ETSI (Euro-DSS1)
54 - 1TR6 (German ISDN) *not testet*
55 - other protocols exist for the range of DIVA Server cards,
56 but they are not fully testet yet.
57
58
59 You can load the module simply by using the insmod or modprobe function :
60
61 insmod eicon [id=driverid] [membase=<membase>] [irq=<irq>]
62
63
64 The module will automatically probe the PCI-cards. If the id-option
65 is omitted, the driver will assume 'eicon0' for the first pci card and
66 increases the digit with each further card. With a given driver-id
67 the module appends a number starting with '0'.
68
69 For ISA-cards you have to specify membase, irq and id. If id or
70 membase is missing/invalid, the driver will not be loaded except
71 PCI-cards were found. Additional ISA-cards and irq/membase changes
72 can be done with the eiconctrl utility.
73
74 After loading the module, you have to download the protocol and
75 dsp-code by using the eiconctrl utility of isdn4k-utils.
76
77
78 Example for loading and starting a BRI card with E-DSS1 Protocol.
79
80 eiconctrl [-d DriverId] load etsi
81
82 Example for a BRI card with E-DSS1 Protocol with PtP configuration.
83
84 eiconctrl [-d DriverId] load etsi -n -t1 -s1
85
86
87 Example for loading and starting a PRI card with E-DSS1 Protocol.
88
89 eiconctrl [-d DriverId] load etsi -s2 -n
90
91
92 Details about using the eiconctrl utility are in 'man eiconctrl'
93 or will be printed by starting eiconctrl without any parameters.
94
95 ISDNLOG:
96 With eicon driver version 1.77 or newer and the eiconctrl utility
97 of version 1.1 or better, you can use the isdnlog user program
98 with your DIVA Server BRI card.
99 Just use "eiconctrl isdnlog on" and the driver will generate
100 the necessary D-Channel traces for isdnlog.
101
102
103 FILECHECK:
104 A part of the eicon driver source code files are provided
105 by Eicon Technology. In order to get the best support from Eicon,
106 these files are tested with a checksum, just to know if the files
107 were modified. This does *not* mean, you are not allowed to modify the
108 driver. If you want to improve the driver or you fix a bug, please do
109 so and let me (or Eicon) know, about the necessary changes. So
110 every user knows, if the driver he uses is modified or checked with
111 Eicon files. When the driver has been loaded, in the syslog you will
112 find something like "verified" or "modified" right after the version.
