DIGISETUP(8)		  BSD System Manager's Manual		  DIGISETUP(8)

NAME
     digisetup - download firmware to Digi International serial host adapters

SYNOPSIS
     digisetup [-a] [-v version] [-l lines] [-o] device-name

DESCRIPTION
     Digisetup is used to test and initialize a Digi International serial host
     adapters (see digi(4)).  The device specified is tested to make sure the
     on-board memory functions properly, and then the firmware is downloaded
     to the board.  The device specified can be any line on the board.
     Digisetup needs to be run once for each Digiboard multiplexer in the sys-
     tem.  It does not need to be run for each line attached to a given multi-
     plexer.

     The options include:

     -a	    Alternate DSR and DCD line configuration.  This switches DSR and
	    DCD lines so that users with RJ45 connectors can use an 8-conduc-
	    tor cable and not lose any real functionality.

     -v version
	    If problems are seen with the latest version of firmware this flag
	    can be used to load older versions.	 For Acceleport Xem and Ac-
	    celeport Xr the default version is 2, for all other boards the de-
	    fault version is 1.

     -l lines
	    Obsolete, ignored.	Older version of the digisetup could not de-
	    tect the number of lines present on Acceleport Xem or Acceleport
	    Xr products. This functionality has been added to Digisetup.

     -o	    Obsolete, ignored.	This flag use to be used to select an alter-
	    nate/older version of the firmware. Now that more than two possi-
	    ble versions of the firmware exist this flag is ignored.

     al FEPOS versions for all boards except Acceleport Xem and Acceleport Xr

     1	  FEPOS 7.08 4/20/95

				     ports are accessed
