lower case letter for local terminal use or upper case for modem

control.

Note: Only one of the options (e.g., modem control or local

terminal access) should be enabled for any port at one time. For

example, you cannot enable

ttyl1a

and then enable

ttyl1A

.

To change the status of a port, disable the current status

(

disable ttyl1a

) and then enable it for the desired status

Removing the Driver (SCO Open Server 5)

To remove the Multi-Tech Serial Card Driver, enter the configuration

utility (e.g., custom for SCO Open Server 5) and follow instructions to

remove the entire driver and rebuild the kernel without the ISI driver. If

Note: Remove the driver before permanently removing the ISI card from

the computer.

Linux Driver for ISI5634PCI-4/8

This is the standard installation procedure for Linux and is applicable

to all Linux operating systems of the correct kernel level (2.0, 2.2, or

2.4). The next major section of this manual, RedHat Linux 6.2/7.0 RPM

Drivers for ISI Server Cards (PCI bus only), is an alternative

installation procedure applicable only to RedHat Linux 6.2 and 7.0

using the RedHat Package Management System (RPM). Note that

RedHat Linux versions 6.2 and 7.0 both use the Linux 2.2 kernel and the

applicable driver can be installed using this standard installation

procedure, as well.

driver that works for both the 2.2.x kernel and the 2.4.x kernel (at this

writing, it is filename L305_22X_24X.TAR). Be absolutely positive

about which kernel you have! Note that updated driver files may be
