1 Welcome to Beta Release 2 of the combination ISDN driver for SpellCaster's
2 ISA ISDN adapters. Please note this release 2 includes support for the

37 2.6 How to setup ISDN4Linux with the driver
57 you need to configure your kernel for ISDN support and get the ISDN4Linux
60 ISDN4Linux creates a channel pool from all of the available ISDN channels
62 driver (such as ours) is loaded, all of the channels go into a pool and
68 The revision 2 driver besides adopting the ISDN4Linux architecture has many
73 versus between 16K and 64K. New methods for using the shared RAM
74 allow us to utilize all of the available RAM on the adapter through
80 We have significantly reduced the amount of time it takes to load
81 the driver and at the same time doubled the number of I/O ports
82 probed increasing the likelihood of finding an adapter.

92 1.3 How do I setup my system with the correct software to use
95 Before you can compile, install and use the SpellCaster ISA ISDN driver, you
96 must ensure that the following software is installed, configured and running:
98 - Linux kernel 2.0.20 or later with the required init and ps
99 versions. Please see your distribution vendor for the correct
116 2.1 Unpacking and installing the driver
121 2. Unpack the archive with :
126 4. Read the README and RELNOTES files.
130 2.2 Read the man pages!!!
132 Make sure you read the scctrl(8) and sc(4) manual pages before continuing
135 2.3 Installing the driver
137 To install the driver, type '/sbin/insmod sc' as root. sc(4) details options
140 Make sure the driver loaded and detected all of the adapters by typing
144 edit the file "/etc/modules/'uname -f'/'uname -v'" and insert the driver name
147 2.4 Removing the driver
149 To remove the driver, delete any interfaces that may exist (see isdnctrl(8)
154 If, when you try to install the driver, you get a message mentioning
155 'register_isdn' then you do not have the ISDN4Linux system installed. Please
156 make sure that ISDN support is configured in the kernel.
158 If you get a message that says 'initialization of sc failed', then the
161 resources available, use the insmod options detailed in sc(4) to override
162 the probing function.
164 Upon testing, the following problem was noted, the driver would load without
165 problems, but the board would not respond beyond that point. When a check was
166 done with 'cat /proc/interrupts' the interrupt count for sc was 0. In the event
167 of this problem, change the BIOS settings so that the interrupts in question are
171 2.6 How to setup ISDN4Linux with the driver
173 There are three main configurations which you can use with the driver:
180 desire. The Documentation directory of the isdn4linux subsystem offers good
183 A) 10 steps to the establishment of a basic HDLC connection
186 - please open the isdn-hdlc file in the examples directory and follow along...
190 interfaces are created and two routes added between the channels.
192 i) using the isdnctrl utility, add an interface with "addif" and
194 ii) add the outgoing and inbound telephone numbers
195 iii) set the Layer 2 protocol to hdlc
196 iv) set the eaz of the interface to be the phone number of that
198 v) to turn the callback features off, set the callback to "off" and
199 the callback delay (cbdelay) to 0.
200 vi) the hangup timeout can be set to a specified number of seconds
201 vii) the hangup upon incoming call can be set on or off
202 viii) use the ifconfig command to bring up the network interface with
204 ix) add a route to the IP address through the isdn0 interface
205 x) a ping should result in the establishment of the connection
211 - please open the isdn-ppp file in the examples directory and follow along...
214 PPP connection between the two channels. The file is almost
215 identical to the HDLC connection example except that the packet
218 use the same procedure as in the HDLC connection from steps i) to
219 iii) then, after the Layer 2 protocol is set, set the encapsulation
220 "encap" to syncppp. With this done, the rest of the steps, iv) to x)
223 Then, the ipppd (ippp daemon) must be setup:
225 xi) use the ipppd function found in /sbin/ipppd to set the following:
227 xiii) set the mru size to 2000
228 xiv) link the two /dev interfaces to the daemon
230 NOTE: A "*" in the inbound telephone number specifies that a call can be
236 - please open the isdn-mppp file in the examples directory and follow along...
241 i) using the isdnctrl utility, add an interface with "addif" and
243 ii) add the inbound telephone number
244 iii) set the Layer 2 protocol to hdlc and the Layer 3 protocol to
246 iv) set the packet encapsulation to syncppp
247 v) set the eaz of the interface to be the phone number of that
249 vi) to turn the callback features off, set the callback to "off" and
250 the callback delay (cbdelay) to 0.
251 vi) the hangup timeout can be set to a specified number of seconds
252 vii) the hangup upon incoming call can be set on or off
254 ix) set the similar parameters for the ippp32 interface
255 x) use the ifconfig command to bring-up the ippp0 interface with a
257 xi) add a route to the IP address through the ippp0 interface
258 xii) use the ipppd function found in /sbin/ipppd to set the following:
260 xiv) set the mru size to 2000
261 xv) add (+) the multi-link function "+mp"
262 xvi) link the two /dev interfaces to the daemon
264 NOTE: To use the MLPPP connection to dial OUT to a MLPPP connection, change
265 the inbound telephone numbers to the outgoing telephone numbers of the MLPPP
271 When using the "scctrl" utility to upload firmware revisions on the board,
272 please note that the byte count displayed at the end of the operation may be
273 different from the total number of bytes in the "dcbfwn.nn.sr" file. Please
274 disregard the displayed byte count.
