ICNCTRL(8)		  Linux System Administration		    ICNCTRL(8)

NAME
       icnctrl - configure ICN ISDN adaptor

SYNOPSIS
       icnctrl [-d Driver-Id] action options ...

DESCRIPTION
       icnctrl is used to setup the ICN ISDN device driver and for downloading
       the firmware into the ISDN card.

       The use of icnctrl makes sense, if you are using an ICN card only.

OPTIONS
       -d Driver-Id
	      selects the S0 interface named  by  Driver-Id.   Driver-Ids  are
	      defined  during driver initialisation. See icn(4) for a descrip‐
	      tion of the syntax to be used  for  modularised  and  monolithic
	      driver  versions.	  This	option must be used to identify the S0
	      interface if more than one S0 interface is existent. If a single
	      ICN-2B is used, it may be omitted.  If using more than one card,
	      support for the other cards is enabled with the  add  action  of
	      icnctrl. 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 icnctrl.

       add port [id1 [id2]]
	      enables support for an additional card in the driver. If id1 and
	      id2  are missing, adds an ICN-2B with an id given by the system.
	      with id2 missing, adds an ICN-2B with an Id given by  the	 user.
	      With  both  Ids given, adds an ICN-4B with both Ids given by the
	      user. There is no checking  against  port-conflicts.  Ports  are
	      checked  later  during  first  activation	 while downloading the
	      firmware and can be changed at runtime. Ids are checked  against
	      conflicts,  and if a conflict happens, replaced by the system in
	      the same manner as if no Id was supplied. It is not allowed,  to
	      add cards, after a load was done.

       io [base-address port]
	      sets  the	 address  of the memory-mapped IO-region and the port-
	      base.  After loading the icn-module into kernel-space, this com‐
	      mand  should  be	used  as the very first setup, if the hardware
	      settings are different from the default settings below.  If both
	      parameters are omitted, prints out current settings. The default
	      memory address is 0xD0000, the default port-base is  0x320.   An
	      ICN  card	 uses 4 port-addresses. The memory address is globally
	      used for all cards (cards are mapped on demand), while each card
	      has its own port range. Memory range is 16k.

       leased on|1|2|off
	      switches	between	 normal (dialup) and leased-line mode. Leased-
	      line mode is intended for usage with S64K-lines  or  -  if  both
	      channels are used - for S02. If the second parameter is 1 , only
	      one channel is enabled.  If the second parameter is 2 or on both
	      channels are enabled. Leased lines do not have a D-channel. When
	      leased-line mode is enabled, the driver simulates incoming calls
	      using  special  "phone-numbers"  for  calling and called address
	      which are generated as follows:

	      Calling number:
		     LEASEDx
			    where x is the  internal  slot-number  of  the  S0
			    interface. This number starts with 0 for the first
			    S0 interface and is incremented by one  for	 every
			    S0 interface configured using the add action.

	      Called number:
		     x
			    where  x  is  equal	 to  the channel number of the
			    calling S0 interface starting with 1.

       load boot-code firmware [firmware2]
	      downloads the firmware into the card and starts operation. Using
	      this command, after loading the icn-module into kernel-space the
	      first real access to the hardware	 is  done.  Therefore  the  io
	      action  above,  should  be used before, if the hardware settings
	      are different from the default settings.	Usually the images are
	      located  in  @DATADIR@.  The boot-code is named loadpg.bin.  The
	      firmware depends on the D-channel protocol of the ISDN line. For
	      German  1TR6-lines,  the	firmware  is  named pc_1t_ca.bin.  For
	      Euro-ISDN-lines, it is  named  pc_eu_ca.bin.   When  loading  an
	      ICN-4B,  two  firmware parameters have to be supplied. The first
	      firmware is used for the upper S0 connector, the second firmware
	      is used for the lower S0 connector (towards the card's slot con‐
	      nector).

       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
       @DATADIR@/loadpg.bin
	      This is the image of  the	 bootstrap  loader,  which  is	loaded
	      first, then loads the firmware into the card's memory and starts
	      execution.

       @DATADIR@/pc_1t_ca.bin
	      This is the image of the firmware designed for the  German  1TR6
	      protocol.

       @DATADIR@/pc_eu_ca.bin
	      This is the image of the firmware, designed for Euro ISDN.

DIAGNOSTICS
       The following diagnostics may be issued on stderr:

       Read error on boot-code
	      The  file	 supplied as boot-code has less than 4096 bytes length
	      or could not be read.

       Read error on firmware
	      The file supplied as firmware has less than 65536	 bytes	length
	      or could not be read.

BUGS
       No bugs so far.
