Cyclades PC400 installation manual Board and System Configuration, Step ONE, Step TWO

CHAPTER 4 BOARD AND SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

This chapter describes the configuration of the Cyclades-PC400. After the general instructions, guided ex- amples are provided to assist in parameter selection. Read the example closest to your application if in doubt as to the best value for a parameter.

STEP ONE

If the PC400 driver was compiled as a module and it is desired that the driver be autoloaded when a PC400 device is accessed, add the lines below to /etc/conf.modules (or /etc/modules.conf, depending on the Linux distribution used):

alias char-major-214 pc400 alias char-major-215 pc400

IMPORTANT: the Cyclades-PC400 driver must be loaded before the device is used.

STEP TWO

Next, create a text file to store configuration variables or edit the default configuration file, /etc/cyclades/pc400/ pc400.cfg.. Only one label and one value per line, with a space between the label and the value. Blank lines are allowed. Examples are shown later in this chapter. The parameters are grouped into blocks and applied to each interface/channel/logical link/profile as will be seen below.

•General parameters define the user interface, name and password, together with some general options.

•ISDN-PRI profile parameters set trunk information such as telephone numbers and connection type for up to five profiles.

•DSP profile parameters set the string to be sent to the SAP for up to five profiles.
