You can get the ICN-ISDN-card from:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Thinking Objects Software GmbH
 | 
						|
Versbacher Röthe 159
 | 
						|
97078 Würzburg
 | 
						|
Tel: +49 931 2877950
 | 
						|
Fax: +49 931 2877951

 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The card communicates with the PC by two interfaces:
 | 
						|
  1. A range of 4 successive port-addresses, whose base address can be 
 | 
						|
     configured with the switches.
 | 
						|
  2. A memory window with 16KB-256KB size, which can be setup in 16k steps
 | 
						|
     over the whole range of 16MB. Isdn4linux only uses a 16k window.
 | 
						|
     The base address of the window can be configured when loading
 | 
						|
     the lowlevel-module (see README). If using more than one card,
 | 
						|
     all cards are mapped to the same window and activated as needed.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Setting up the IO-address dipswitches for the ICN-ISDN-card:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  Two types of cards exist, one with dip-switches and one with
 | 
						|
  hook-switches.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  1. Setting for the card with hook-switches:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     (0 = switch closed, 1 = switch open)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     S3 S2 S1  Base-address
 | 
						|
      0  0  0  0x300
 | 
						|
      0  0  1  0x310
 | 
						|
      0  1  0  0x320 (Default for isdn4linux)
 | 
						|
      0  1  1  0x330

The ICN driver may be built into the kernel or as a module. Initialization
 | 
						|
depends on how the driver is built:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Driver built into the kernel:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  The ICN driver can be configured using the commandline-feature while
 | 
						|
  loading the kernel with LILO or LOADLIN. It accepts the following syntax:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  icn=p,m[,idstring1[,idstring2]]
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  where
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    p = portbase      (default: 0x320)
 | 
						|
    m = shared memory (default: 0xd0000)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  When using the ICN double card (4B), you MUST define TWO idstrings.
 | 
						|
  idstring must start with a character! There is no way for the driver
 | 
						|
  to distinguish between a 2B and 4B type card. Therefore, by supplying
 | 
						|
  TWO idstrings, you tell the driver that you have a 4B installed.
 | 
						|
  
 | 
						|
  If you like to use more than one card, you can use the program
 | 
						|
  "icnctrl" from the utility-package to configure additional cards.
 | 
						|
  You need to configure shared memory only once, since the icn-driver
 | 
						|
  maps all cards into the same address-space.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  Using the "icnctrl"-utility, portbase and shared memory can also be
 | 
						|
  changed during runtime.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  The D-channel protocol is configured by loading different firmware
 | 
						|
  into the card's memory using the "icnctrl"-utility.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Driver built as module:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  The module icn.o can be configured during "insmod'ing" it by
 | 
						|
  appending its parameters to the insmod-commandline. The following
 | 
						|
  syntax is accepted:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    portbase=p membase=m icn_id=idstring [icn_id2=idstring2]
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  where p, m, idstring1 and idstring2 have the same meanings as the
 | 
						|
  parameters described for the kernel-version above.
 | 
						|
      
 | 
						|
  When using the ICN double card (4B), you MUST define TWO idstrings.
 | 
						|
  idstring must start with a character! There is no way for the driver
 | 
						|
  to distinguish between a 2B and 4B type card. Therefore, by supplying
 | 
						|
  TWO idstrings, you tell the driver that you have a 4B installed.
 | 
						|
  
 | 
						|
  Using the "icnctrl"-utility, the same features apply to the modularized
 | 
						|
  version like to the kernel-builtin one.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  The D-channel protocol is configured by loading different firmware
 | 
						|
  into the card's memory using the "icnctrl"-utility.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Loading the firmware into the card:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  The firmware is supplied together with the isdn4k-utils package. It
 | 
						|
  can be found in the subdirectory icnctrl/firmware/
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  There are 3 files:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    loadpg.bin   - Image of the bootstrap loader.
 | 
						|
    pc_1t_ca.bin - Image of firmware for german 1TR6 protocol.
 | 
						|
    pc_eu_ca.bin - Image if firmware for EDSS1 (Euro-ISDN) protocol.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  Assuming you have installed the utility-package correctly, the firmware
 | 
						|
  will be downloaded into the 2B-card using the following command:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    icnctrl -d Idstring load /etc/isdn/loadpg.bin /etc/isdn/pc_XX_ca.bin
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  where XX is either "1t" or "eu", depending on the D-Channel protocol
 | 
						|
  used on your S0-bus and Idstring is the Name of the card, given during
 | 
						|
  insmod-time or (for kernel-builtin driver) on the kernel commandline.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  To load a 4B-card, the same command is used, except a second firmware
 | 
						|
  file is appended to the commandline of icnctrl.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  -> After downloading firmware, the two LEDs at the back cover of the card
 | 
						|
     (ICN-4B: 4 LEDs) must be blinking intermittently now. If a connection
 | 
						|
     is up, the corresponding led is lit continuously.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  For further documentation (adding more ICN-cards), refer to the manpage
 | 
						|
  icnctrl.8 which is included in the isdn4k-utils package.
