3.5 Linux Installation
1. Login as superuser or root.
2. Change directory to root and copy our driver diskette to system.
#cd /
#tar xvf /dev/fd0
3. Change directory to /etc/rayon and run Install command.
#cd /etc/rayon
#./Install
4. Use the following procedure to configure your module:
a. Choose the card type (PCIPORT card)
b. Choose your Linux kernel version
c. Rebuild your system
d. Exit & reboot
5. The extra serial port can be used.
a. The device name will be: /dev/tty8[1--2][a--h]
b. The first card number (Jumper ON) will be:
/dev/tty81[a--h]
c. The second card number (Jumper OFF) will be:
/dev/tty82[a--h]
NOTE: The above driver installation procedure will install a module type
driver. Due to the system configurations, from kernel 2.4.x, we can
not offer object type drivers to install. The source file drivers are
provided. Users must have the kernel source file in the
/usr/src/linux
directory to link with our driver's source file.
However, some Linux distributions (ex. Redhat) may use a dif-
ferent directory name for the kernel source. User also need to use
this kernel source file to generate run time image file in boot.
For multi-PCIPORT card installation, note the following:
1. To install two of the same PCIPORT cards in one Windows
95/98/ME system, set one card's jumper to “ON” and the other to
“OFF”.
