Software/Driver Installation
68 MultiModemISI Hybrid Series, ISIHP-2S/2U/4S/4U/4SD
Linux Driver Installation
To install the Linux driver:
1. Insert the driver installation diskette.
2. Prepare a temporary installation directory: mkdir isicom
3. Change your current directory to the temporary installation
directory: cd \isicom
4. Place the file isicom.tar into the isicom directory.
5. Then extract the file using the tar utility: tar xvf /isicom/isicom.tar
6. Make sure the following are installed on your system: the make
utility, the GNU C compiler (gcc), and kernel sources.
7. Run the bash Install script to compile the driver as a loadable
module and to compile the user space firmware loader.
8. The files are copied to the destination folder. If you don’t specify
the folder, the destination folder default is /usr/local/ISICOM
(case sensitive). This also creates device files for the ISI cards,
normal and callout ports, in the /dev folder.
9. To load the driver manually, use the ISIHP installation
configuration stored in the ISICOMStart file in the destination
folder.
Or, you can include the configuration in the appropriate start-up
script stored in the /etc/rc.d/ folder, so it loads when you start the
computer.
10. If you make any changes to this configuration, edit the first line of
the ISICOMSTART file. The correct syntax for this line is as
follows:
insmod <destination folder>isicom.o
ISIBase1=0xXXXX
Irq1=XX
ISIBase2=0xXXXX
Irq2=XX Linux Driver Installation
ISIBasex and Irqx represent the base I/O address and IRQ that are
passed to the driver at module loading time. See the insmod
manual page for more details on parameter passing.
